Biodiversity Ireland, also known as the National Biodiversity Data Centre, is dedicated to making biodiversity data and information freely available. Their mission is to enhance our understanding of Ireland's biodiversity and contribute to its protection. With over 6 million records, 17,589 species, and 175 datasets, they are at the forefront of documenting Ireland's wildlife.

Biodiversity Ireland offers a range of products and services to various stakeholders. Farmers, local communities, NGOs, public bodies, and researchers can benefit from their efforts. They provide resources, training, and guidance on how to make farmland more biodiversity friendly through their Festival of Farmland Biodiversity and the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan.

Biodiversity Maps, their national mapping and data portal, allows users to generate reports on species found in specific areas. The species profiles system provides comprehensive information on the status, biology, and distribution of different species. They also monitor progress through their National Biodiversity Indicators and provide information on invasive alien species.

Contributing to Biodiversity Ireland by submitting records and datasets helps track Ireland's progress in conserving biodiversity. The data collected is shared globally and helps inform policy and conservation efforts.
