It aggregates data from various sources, including museums, libraries, and research institutions, to create a searchable, digital encyclopedia of biodiversity.
The IUCN Red List provides access to searchable database of mammals across the globe. The website provides the animal's scientific name, geographic location, population, and habitat information, in addition to threats and conservation efforts. Search results can be limited by species, region, taxonomy, and more. The IUCN Red List is an essential tool that tracks species to guide conservation action and informs policy and resource allocation with the goal of supporting global biodiversity.
National Geographic provides access to articles, photos, and videos about various mammal species, their habitats, and conservation efforts.
The Map of Life is an online platform based at Yale University that provides species distribution maps and information from around the world. It integrates data from various sources to create up-to-date maps of species distributions, supporting biodiversity education, monitoring, research, and conservation efforts.
