The Belize Biodiversity Mapping Service (BBMS) has been entirely replaced by the new Biodiversity and Environmental Resource Data System (BERDS). All data found in the old BBMS site has been incorporated and updated in the new BERDS system. The Biodiversity & Environmental Resource Data System (BERDS) is a comprehensive biodiversity and environmental data warehouse and research system built with one purpose - to enhance collaborative research and conservation efforts in Belize by providing shared access to not only accurate biodiversity- and environment-related data but also the tools necessary to begin research and investigation of that shared data. What makes BERDS a model system is its innovative integrated spatial approach to data management and dissemination. BERDS merges a wide array of useful data types (e.g. documents, people, organisations, projects, specimen collections, datasets) with an integrated, comprehensive and accurate GIS mapping service to form a powerful data visualisation and investigation toolset for national research and monitoring efforts.
