National Biodiversity Data Centre

The National Biodiversity Data Centre is the national centre dedicated to the collation, management, analysis and dissemination of data and information on Ireland’s biological diversity. It serves as a hub for the exchange of data between governmental organisations, NGOs, research institutions and volunteer recorders.

This site provides access to high quality biodiversity data collected by researchers, professional conservation staff and volunteer recorders. Data is made available through this portal to expand our knowledge on Ireland’s biodiversity resource and to make information more readily available for improved decision-making, particularly in relation to climate change, land use change and biodiversity protection measures.
