Data provider: MammalWeb

MammalWeb is a "citizen science" platform intended to collate, validate and curate camera trap data that can inform us about the distribution and ecology of mammals. The aims of MammalWeb include enabling and expanding citizen science camera trapping to address the information deficit on the status and ecology of UK and European wild mammals; engaging a community of citizen scientists, ranging from school children to enthusiasts, researchers, and the general public, to deploy cameras, and help classify the images; facilitating the use of data gathered for scientific, policy and management purposes; and enhancing the connection of people to nature and its benefits for health and wellbeing.

Data provider: Manx Biological Recording Partnership

A partnership of wildlife conservation focused organisations and individuals on the Isle of Man collating terrestrial and marine data led jointly by Manx National Heritage, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, Isle of Man Government and the Manx Wildlife Trust. Much of our data comes from surveys carried out by the lead organisations but also includes records from individual wildlife recorders and several specialist groups including Manx Bat Group, Isle of Man Fungus Group, Manx Basking Shark Watch and Manx Bird Atlas (non-avian records). The Isle of Man is a UK Crown Dependency.

Data provider: Manx National Heritage

Manx National Heritage looks after some of the Isle of Man’s most special places, spaces and collections, including historic buildings, landscapes, archives and the Island’s national museum collections, including art, social history, archaeology, natural history, making these available to a worldwide audience. Our professional team also advise on developments and changes in our historic environment and natural landscape, helping ensure the Isle of Man remains a special place for people, heritage and nature for generations to come. It acts as a guardian of the Island's many natural and cultural assets and looks after 3,000 acres of land on behalf of the community, including the Calf of Man Bird Observatory and nature reserve. The Manx Museum and National Trust was originally set up in the 19th century by the Isle of Man’s Parliament, Tynwald, to look after the Islands archaeological sites. The organisation is supported by the Isle of Man Government and Trustees are appointed by Tynwald. On a day to day basis the Trust operates at ‘arms length’ but has close relationships with Government Departments, in particularly with the Department of Economic Development. The Trust also has charitable status and works closely with other voluntary sector bodies such as the Manx Wildlife Trust.

Data provider: Manx Wildlife Trust

Manx Wildlife Trust is the leading nature conservation charity on the Isle of Man. We protect Manx wildlife by creating Living Landscapes, Living Seas and fostering a society where nature matters. We conserve some of the best habitats and species on the island and at sea by: -Acquiring land for nature reserves to act as safe sites for wildlife; -Working with Government, landowners and other partners to manage the land and sea for the benefit of wildlife and Manx people; -Inspiring people to engage with nature and understand why it matters -Taking action for wildlife through advocacy and initiating projects for species recovery and proactive research. This work is carried out by MWT’s small and expert, team of dedicated staff, and overseen by a Council of Trustees. We are lucky to be able to rely on a group of passionate volunteers who dedicate over 15,000 hours per year of their time towards our conservation work. As a Manx charity MWT also benefits from its partnership with 46 other Wildlife Trusts throughout the British Isles.

Data provider: Marine Conservation Society

The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is the voice for everyone who loves the sea. We work to secure a future for our living seas, and to save our threatened marine wildlife before it is lost forever. Almost nowhere in UK seas is marine wildlife safe from harm. We need to establish vital marine protected areas where wildlife can recover and flourish. Levels of beach litter have doubled over the last two decades. MCS works to clear our seas of the rising tide of rubbish that is so dangerous to sea life, including seabirds, whales and dolphins. 71% of Europe's fish stocks are overfished or depleted. Once common fish such as skate and cod are now rare in many areas. MCS works to reduce the overfishing which is devastating the life in our seas, and promotes sustainable seafood alternatives. Our work ensures that the sea's rich wildlife can be restored, fish stocks grow more plentiful, and our beaches and seawater become cleaner. We depend entirely on the generosity and enthusiasm of our supporters to continue to care for our seas, shores and wildlife.

Data provider: National Museums Scotland

The origins of the natural sciences collections of National Museums Scotland can be traced back to 1694 with the acquisition by the “Toun College of Edinburgh” of the collection of Sir Andrew Balfour. The College, later the University of Edinburgh, continued to maintain natural history collections for teaching purposes, until it was passed to the government-funded museum when it was founded in 1855 as the Industrial Museum of Scotland (before being renamed the Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art in 1864 and then in 1904, the Royal Scottish Museum). Today, the natural sciences collections of National Museums Scotland number over 10 million specimens divided between four sections: Earth Systems, Invertebrates, Palaeobiology and Vertebrate Biology.
