About Us
Established in 2000, the National Biodiversity Network Trust (NBN Trust) is a small charity with a big plan – to make data work for nature.
For more than 20 years we’ve been making UK wildlife data accessible, to support better decisions about the natural world and to connect people with nature.
We manage the NBN Atlas, the UK’s largest repository of publicly available biodiversity data – holding over 300 million records of 50,000 plus species – from ladybirds, red squirrels and toads through to rare lichen, fungi and endangered insects.
We also manage iNaturalistUK, as well as supporting the National Biodiversity Network – the UK’s largest partnership for nature. It is a collaboration of around 200 organisations committed to sharing UK wildlife data and making it easily available – using the NBN Atlas: nbnatlas.org
Members of the National Biodiversity Network include some well-known organisations, such as the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the National Trust, Butterfly Conservation and the Woodland Trust, as well as lesser-known groups such as Longhorn Beetle Recording Scheme, Riverfly Partnership and Outer Hebrides Recording Group, to name just a few.
The one thing that unites everyone involved in the Network is their desire for high-quality wildlife data to provide a robust evidence base for environmental decision-making. Data providers share their biodiversity data via the NBN Atlas: nbnatlas.org 1. National Biodiversity Network Trust
