Data
IBAT hosts and maintains three key global biodiversity datasets.
Data last updated: 01/03/2025
IBAT hosts and helps maintain three key global biodiversity datasets.
The three datasets in IBAT are used for international reporting purposes, including the Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Biodiversity Targets (particularly Targets 11 and 12), UN tracking of progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (Indicators 14 & 15), core indicators of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), and other international assessments such as the Global Biodiversity Outlook.Beyond global reporting, IBAT data is also essential for businesses looking to assess biodiversity risks, align with sustainability frameworks, and meet regulatory and disclosure requirements. It helps companies integrate biodiversity considerations into decision-making, impact assessments, and supply chain management.
IUCN Red List
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List), is a rich compendium of information on threats, ecological requirements, and habitats of over 160,000 species; and on conservation actions that can be taken to reduce or prevent extinctions.

World Database on Protected Areas
The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global database of marine and terrestrial protected areas.
The WDPA is a joint project between the UN Environment Programme and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Data and information in the WDPA underpin the publication of the United Nations List of Protected Areas.
World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas
Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) are the most important places in the world for species and their habitats.
The KBA network includes ‘sites contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity’, in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems.

Species Threat Abatement and Restoration metric
The Species Threat Abatement and Restoration metric (STAR) uses data on the distribution, threats, and extinction risk of Threatened and Near-Threatened species derived from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
STAR allows organisations to quantify the potential contributions that species threat abatement and restoration activities offer towards reducing extinction risk across the world.
Rarity-weighted species richness
Rarity weighted richness is a measure that combines endemism and species richness of amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles and a representative set of plant taxa in each 10 km cell.

Testimonials
Hear what our partners have to say...
"IBAT provides up-to-date information on protected area designations and threats to habitat and biodiversity. These data inform the BeZero Carbon Rating, an assessment of the likelihood that a carbon credit delivers on its promise to achieve a tonne of CO2e avoided or removed."
"IBAT provides essential screening on threatened species and endangered habitats that helps us assess risks, focus accompanying investigations, and prioritise restoration activities at our operating sites globally."
"IBAT has been an essential tool to help Evonik understand our biodiversity risks and opportunities on-site."
"IBAT also allows me to integrate my analysis with other GIS tools, which increases the depth of my scrutiny. We are looking forward to utilising the new STAR functionality!"
"IBAT provides an excellent pre-screening desktop resource to be used in these assessments focusing on species, habitats and legally protected and or internationally recognised areas of biodiversity importance."
