Abstract:
The ICE Biological Inventories of the World's Protected Areas provide a global
information system of documented inventories of plants and animals reported to
occur on the world's protected areas. The ICE databases provide taxonomically
harmonized data derived from a variety of sources through collaborations with
numerous protected area staff, national and international
... organizations, and
the world's taxonomic community. In addition to species inventories, the
databases provide information on relative abundance, residence and breeding
status, as well as an estimate of the completeness of the inventory.
The objective of the ICE Biological Inventories of the World's Protected Areas
is to make available a wealth of previously unavailable or difficult to access
documented, taxonomically harmonized information on the plants and animals that
occur on the world's protected areas.
