IUCN Red List of Threatened Species #175
Comments
Through their API? We could build a checklist this way, but that's usually a last resort when an essential checklist datasource is not available in any other way. Let us know if that's what's expected. |
https://www.gbif-uat.org/dataset/19491596-35ae-4a91-9a98-85cf505f1bd3 now has one record retrieved using IUCN's APIs: https://api.gbif-uat.org/v1/species/165549597 and https://api.gbif-uat.org/v1/species/165549597/distributions and https://www.gbif-uat.org/species/165549597 |
Using the code in https://github.com/mdoering/checklist_builder/tree/master/src/main/java/de/doering/dwca/iucn, this will soon (a few minutes) be live on GBIF: https://doi.org/10.15468/0qnb58 |
We need an issue to track this, as its mentioned in or is relevant to several others: gbif/portal16#1322, gbif/pipelines#257, gbif/pipelines#258, gbif/geocode#5
The dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/0qnb58 is out-of-date (last published more than 5 years ago, probably never successfully published to GBIF as we have zero records).
If it were published regularly, including the threat status in a species distribution extension, it would give us much more flexibility and reliability when indexing GBIF occurrence data for threat status.
We could then provide searches for "all occurrence records which are of threatened species" or "all extinct species". If we get dates (e.g. extinct since 1990) we can use that to check data quality. If we get ranges as identified regions (ISO_3166-2:DK or WGSRPD:DNK) we can use that for data quality, plus searches like "show me occurrences of invasives in Denmark" or "show me occurrences of vulnerable species in Denmark". I think, from the other discussions and their website, IUCN might be unwilling to openly publish full polygons, but that would then enable searches by exact location. Maybe those polygons will have to come some other way.
This is probably a fairly routine data publishing task (with assistance from the helpdesk if required). If IUCN have additional data that doesn't map cleanly to an existing extension, we can extend / create extensions as required.
