Suffolk Biodiversity Information Service Sharing information about Suffolk's wildlife

Suffolk Biodiversity Information Service is Suffolk's biological data centre with a database that contains over 5 million records. We collate, manage and share species and site data to help inform better decisions and actions and benefit Suffolk's wildlife. Suffolk has a rich collection of expert and amateur naturalists who support our work and allow us to share an ever-expanding database of speci

es records, across all key taxa, for conservation, research, education and general purposes. We carry out the standard suite of local record centre functions including the storing and management of site and species records, mapping habitats and providing expertise in GIS and database tasks; we also maintain the dataset of Suffolk’s non-statutory county wildlife sites (CWS).
