Wildlife records
Most-recorded species
From the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Counts show where people have recorded wildlife, which follows roads, rivers and research stations, so they are not a measure of how common a species is.

Wildlife records are observations and specimens shared through GBIF, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, by museums, researchers, government agencies and members of the public. They show where species have been recorded, not their full range, and some sensitive species are shown at reduced detail. Locations marked approximate are reference points, not surveyed positions. Boundaries and lines are shown only where an official source is available. Sources are listed on each place’s page.
