By combining many different online information resources, we made it easier for users to locate specific information from diverse sources. Tags and symbols indicate what kind of information is included in each Atlas and whether it is a regional, continental or global resource. The thematic spectrum ranges from species diversity, water scarcity and effects of climate change to the management of protected areas.
Vanessa Bremerich and Oliver Peters from the developer team at IGB constantly expand and update both the Global Freshwater Biodiversity Atlas and the collection of related atlases.
