Launch of National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Atlas Wales

05 April 2017

We’re pleased to announce the recent launch of the NBN Atlas Wales, part of the roll out of regional Atlases to replace the NBN Gateway, which closed at the end of March.

As one of the NBN’s Data Partners, Cofnod has shared over 600,000 species records managed by us with the Atlas. Our Profile Page gives you details of the data we have shared. Although the Atlas provides a range of functionality previously unavailable on the Gateway, it is however worth noting the following:

  • As much of the data on the NBN Atlas are licensed for non-commercial use, commercial customers are advised to use our Data Request process for fast access to high quality, detailed resolution species, habitats and sites data
  • Non-commercial users can access larger quantities of data directly fed from Welsh Local Environmental Records Centres through Aderyn, giving free access to national species distribution maps and species lists for specified locations
