Launch of Biodiversity Geographic Information System (beta version)
2024-09-06
We are excited to announce the launch of the beta version of the Biodiversity Geographic Information System (BGIS). This new system aims to feature a wealth of occurrence data / sighting records for Hong Kong's diverse species from various sources, including government departments, academic institutions and citizen science platforms, for enhancing public awareness of local biodiversity. Like other databases on the Hong Kong Biodiversity Information Hub, the BGIS is continuously evolving; we will regularly update existing data and incorporate new datasets to ensure comprehensive coverage and the most up-to-date information.As the system is currently in its trial phase, please note that services and functions may occasionally be suspended for improvements without prior notice.
