  1. Mapping Ireland’s Biodiversity National Biodiversity Data Centre’s information portal & mapping system http://maps.biodiversityireland.ie/

  2. What will the Mapping System do? • Produce an on-line Atlas of Ireland’s Biodiversity • Report on progress with implementation of EU Directives and international conventions • Provide local authorities with data for strategic planning and development control • Provide a resource for researchers & assist knowledge transfer • Enable an early warning system for invasive species to be developed • Track species distributions as they respond to climate change

  3. National Biodiversity Database c. 400,000 records 3,700 species 22 National databases Target of 1 million records by end of 2009!
