IBAT

The world's most authoritative biodiversity data for your
world-shaping decisions.

We are an alliance of four of the world’s largest and most influential conservation organisations: Birdlife International, Conservation International, the International Union of Conservation for Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC).

The IBAT Alliance licences commercial access to the IBAT platform - the world’s most authoritative biodiversity data platform, providing trusted data to assess biodiversity risks and align with global frameworks to support nature-positive goals. Our datasets are the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPAs), World database of Key Biodiversity Areas (WDKBA) and the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species. We also provide derived datasets - the Rarity-Weighted Richness layer and Species Threat Abatement and Restoration or STAR metric.

The IBAT platform provides unique access to these datasets and layers helping to inform your world-leading biodiversity decisions.
