The National Biodiversity Data Centre works to make biodiversity data and information more freely available to better understand and protect Ireland’s biodiversity. However, we are completely reliant on the generosity of our recording community to dedicate their time to take part in our recording schemes.
In an effort to recruit and support new members of our recording scheme we have developed a ‘Beginner’s Guide to recording’. Having a strong recording community is an essential step in protecting our biodiversity.
