The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

A new ArcGIS Pro tool for downloading Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) data is now available in the ArcGIS Living Atlas! Providing access to a collection of over 3.1 billion species occurrence records contributed by over 2,500 publishing institutions, GBIF is the result of an intergovernmental initiative that hosts the largest collection of biodiversity information in the world. This new ArcGIS Pro download tool is aimed at providing researchers, educators, and decision makers with free and open access to occurrence and observation data for all types of life on planet Earth.
