This document was the First draft of the NBN Strategy for consultation by NBN participants, which was published in February 2015 and is the result of work carried out over the previous six months, in which many Network participants were involved.

The NBN Strategy seeks change in how biological data in the UK are collected, verified, managed, analysed, disseminated and used. The Strategy sets out five Strategic Aims, 21 objectives and some initial priorities to achieve the new vision that: “Wildlife data collected and shared openly by the Network are central to the UK’s learning and understanding of its biodiversity and are critical to all decision-making about nature and the environment.”

Improving Wildlife Data Quality Guidebook

Mandy Henshall — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 16:17:43 +0000

These guidance notes focus on wildlife data verification and validation, in the context of the overall collection, management and dissemination of the wildlife information.

They are intended for use by anyone involved in collecting or using wildlife data. They are not intended to be the last word. Different participants in biological recording will have more or less of a need to adopt particular methods. One solution will not suit everyone but this document will give you a good starting point.
