Arctic Biodiversity Data Service (ABDS) of CAFF

The Geonetwork Catalog of the Arctic Biodiversity Data Service (ABDS) https://abds.is/ is an integral component of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) initiative https://www.caff.is/. CAFF is a working group of the Arctic Council dedicated to addressing the conservation challenges facing Arctic biodiversity and promoting sustainable management practices in the region. As part of CAFF's mandate, the ABDS aims to provide a comprehensive and accessible repository of biodiversity-related data and information specific to the Arctic. The Geonetwork Catalog within ABDS serves as a centralized platform for discovering, accessing, and sharing geospatial datasets relevant to Arctic biodiversity conservation and management. It hosts a diverse range of spatial data layers, including species distribution maps, habitat classifications, ecosystem assessments, land cover maps, and more. These datasets are sourced from various contributors, including scientific research projects, monitoring programs, government agencies, indigenous knowledge holders, and non-governmental organizations. Hereafter you can find the WMS, WFS and GeoNetwork connections.北极生物多样性数据服务（Arctic Biodiversity Data Service，简称ABDS）的GeoNetwork目录（GeoNetwork Catalog），网址为https://abds.is/，是北极动植物保护（Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna，简称CAFF）倡议的核心组成部分，该倡议网址为https://www.caff.is/。CAFF作为北极理事会的工作组，致力于应对北极生物多样性面临的各类保护挑战，并推动该区域的可持续管理实践。作为CAFF职责范围内的工作，ABDS旨在打造一个全面且可访问的、专门针对北极地区的生物多样性相关数据与信息资源库。 ABDS内置的GeoNetwork目录是一个集中化平台，用于发现、获取和共享与北极生物多样性保护及管理相关的地理空间数据集。该平台收录了丰富多样的空间数据图层，包括物种分布地图、生境分类图、生态系统评估成果、土地覆盖地图等。这些数据集的来源涵盖各类贡献方，包括科学研究项目、监测计划、政府机构、原住民知识持有者以及非政府组织。 下文将提供WMS、WFS及GeoNetwork的连接信息。
