Title

NSW BioNet Species Sightings Data Collection

Abstract

The NSW BioNet Species Sightings data collection includes flora and fauna records maintained in the Species Sightings module of the NSW BioNet database, at the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). The BioNet data collection consists of over 13 million observation records sourced from incidental sightings and systematic flora and fauna surveys. Observations include plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, some fungi and invertebrates (such as insects and snails listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act) and some fish. The BioNet Species Sightings data collection covers all areas of NSW and also includes some records from neighbouring states. BioNet includes records from agencies and organisations other than OEH, such as the Royal Botanic Gardens, Forests NSW, the Australian Museum and the Australian Bird and Bat Banding Scheme.

ACCESS: The Species Sightings data collection can be accessed via the BioNet application or Open API

The BioNet database comprises a number of data collections including: 1. Species sightings; 2. Systematic Flora and Fauna Survey; 3. Species Names List; and 4. Threatened Entity Profiles (i.e. Species/population/ecological community profiles). A BioNet Species Search will return relevant records from both the sightings and survey modules. Each record contains details including species name, information about the source of the record, geographic coordinates, accuracy of the coordinates and date of the sighting. BioNet Species Sighting data is made available in accordance with OEH's Sensitive Species Data Policy ; for species categorised as "sensitive", location information may be generalised or withheld depending on the species' status under the policy, and on the access rights of the user.
