About the National Biodiversity Network Trust

Our vision is of nature thriving everywhere, in all its diversity. We’re a small, specialist charity with the mission of “making data work for nature”. We believe that the adage “What gets measured gets done” applies in nature conservation just as it applies in business, and we take pride in providing the biodiversity data needed for nature’s recovery: data to plan, to set targets, and to measure and monitor progress.

We manage the UK’s largest partnership for nature – the National Biodiversity Network – which brings together more than 200 organisations with an interest in collecting, sharing, and using biodiversity data. Our data portal, the NBN Atlas, is one of the world’s largest publicly accessible sources of biodiversity data, and is relied upon by conservationists, researchers, and educators across the UK and beyond.

Much of the data we share is created by the UK’s remarkable community of volunteer wildlife recorders. We make sure that all their hard work has the greatest possible impact for nature. We also manage iNaturalistUK, one of the fastest growing recording apps, with more than 80,000 users.

We have four strategic ambitions, as set out in our 2022-27 Strategy:

• The NBN Atlas is the ‘go to’ place for sharing, finding, and accessing UK biodiversity data.
• Biodiversity data is providing the evidence needed for nature’s recovery.
• Citizen science is valued, supported, and expanded as a major source of biodiversity data.
• The National Biodiversity Network is a well-connected and highly collaborative community with a united voice on key issues.

The NBN Trust is a specialist charity dedicated to providing the evidence needed to protect and restore the UK’s wildlife.  We are a nature conservation charity, a tech charity and a people charity rolled into one. At the heart of our work is the NBN Atlas, our data portal. The NBN Atlas is the UK’s, and one of the world’s largest repository of publicly available biodiversity data, bringing together data from 170 partners. With more than 250 million records of 50,000 UK species, the NBN Atlas is a vital resource for those who wish to understand and protect nature.

Becoming a Trustee
