Victorian Biodiversity Atlas fauna - 1 minute grid summary

## **Abstract** \n\nThis dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. \n\nThis layer summarises VBA fauna records against a standard grid of 1 degree longitude/latitude (GDA94).\n\nAny VBA taxa record with its centre in a cell is counted as a record for that cell. The number of times a\n\ntaxon has been recorded in a cell is collated in the RECORDS column. The first date and last date that a\n\ntaxon has been recorded in a cell are also summarised. VBA data summarised against 10 and 5 minute\n\ngrids are also available in related datasets. VBA records with a spatial accuracy worse than +/- 1 km are\n\nexcluded from this layer.\n\n## **Purpose** \n\nThis layer can be used to indicate general localities where wildlife have been recorded. It can also be used\n\nas an index to assist in the analysis of the VBA_FAUNA25 and VBA_FAUNA100 layers. This layer\n\nincludes restricted records and can act as an alternative to VBA_FAUNA_RESTRICTED.\n\n\n\nFor the purposes of biodiversity management and conservation.\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nData Set Source: The Victorian Biodiversity Atlas database\n\n\n\nCompleteness: Records are available from throughout Victoria, although some area have extremely good coverage, e.g. Central Highlands, East Gippsland.\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nVictorian Department of Environment and Primary Industries (2014) Victorian Biodiversity Atlas fauna - 1 minute grid summary.
