About BERDS:

The Biodiversity & Environmental Resource Data System (BERDS) is a comprehensive biodiversity and environmental data warehouse and research system built with one purpose - to enhance collaborative research and conservation efforts in Belize by providing shared access to not only accurate biodiversity- and environment-related data but also the tools necessary to begin research and investigation of that shared data.

What makes BERDS a potential model system is its innovative, integrated approach to data management and dissemination, entirely within a spatial context. BERDS merges a wide array of useful data (e.g. documents, people, organisations, projects, specimen collections, datasets) with an integrated, comprehensive and accurate GIS mapping service to form a powerful data visualisation and investigation toolset for national research and monitoring efforts.

Learn about BERDS, how to use BERDS through our case studies and tutorials, learn how to become a data provider, learn more about BERD's value-added membership services and how to contribute to the growth of the BERDS. Find out how BERDS is run, who is involved and even what all these acronyms are scattered throughout the site.
