About the National Biodiversity Network

The National Biodiversity Network (NBN) is a new and innovative way of sharing wildlife information in the UK and has developed tools to make this information easily accessible in a digitised and exchangeable form. The NBN provides essential wildlife data, so that wise and informed decisions can be made to ensure our natural environment is diverse, rich and sustainable now and for future generations.

The NBN Trust is the organisation facilitating the building of the Network. By engaging with its membership, mainly public and voluntary bodies and with other non-member organisations committed to the objects of the Trust, it is able to draw upon a broad range of skills and resources needed to develop the building blocks for effective NBN systems. The NBN Trust is registered as a company limited by guarantee and has charitable status. Its Objects give a sound basis for the partnership of different organisations to come together to achieve their common purpose to create and manage this remarkable Network.
