Navigating the multitude of data sources on biodiversity and natural systems can be exceptionally challenging. Not all data sources are equally fit for purpose or easily accessible. What’s more, each dataset comes with specific attributes and biases that need to be taken into account for robust inferences. With over 15 years of experience working in biodiversity data science, we are experts in identifying, accessing, querying, processing, and integrating the data on biodiversity and nature most relevant to your application.
