JBIF is dedicated to the collection, application, and dissemination of biodiversity-related data within Japan.
JBIF Activities
JBIF (Japan Initiative for Biodiversity Information) is the organization carrying out the activities of GBIF in Japan. Its main role is to promote the use and global dissemination of biodiversity related data.
Since 2007, JBIF has been operated as part of the Information Center Establishment Program of the National BioResource Project funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT). Specifically, there are three institutions–the National Institute of Genetics, the National Institute for Environmental Studies, and the National Museum of Nature and Science–working in cooperation to accomplish this task.
