questions of scientific/management interest: that
is to assess the extent to which an exotic species
has spread outside its original range or create a
list of sites which have reported populations of a
species populations known to be a serious risk of
extinction; to update the site data and master
species lists of existing users (via downloads
available from the Information Center for the
Environment server at the University of
California, Davis); to make available to all
interested persons with a connection to the
Internet the lists of species reported to occur on
contributing protected areas; to identify gaps in
our knowledge of species distributions; and to
assess the extent to which the protected areas
worldwide are contributing to the conservation of
the world's biodiversity.

association with the U.S. Man and the Biosphere
(U.S. MAB) Program, is developing databases of
vascular plant and vertebrate animal occurrences
on the world's biosphere reserves and other
protected areas. Currently, the MABFlora (for
vascular plants) and MABFauna (for vertebrate
animals) databases contain records from over 320
protected areas in 80 countries. The MABFlora and
MABFauna databases are continually updated as
additional data are received.
