Our goal is to provide a standardized format for recording and managing incidental, casual, or short-term systematic observations of wildlife. The system design is intended useful for biologists to maintain species lists or to track wildlife populations in protected or managed areas. Additionally this can be a repository for longer-term studies, or data from other sources, such as literature and contracted research projects. |

This point shapefile consists of the locations of species detected for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Wildlife Occurrence (WildObs) database in Florida. This spatial database contains attributes of wildlife observations that are the most commonly used by biologists. WildObs maintains records of species' distributions throughout the state in a database with a standardized format for recording and managing incidental, casual, or short-term systematic observations of wildlife. This database is a repository for data from planned surveys, contracted projects, and casual observations. Designed to be useful to biologists, particularly those with the Nongame Wildlife Program, WildObs maintains species lists and assists biologists in monitoring wildlife populations in protected or managed areas. In particular, the attributes associated with this spatial dataset were selected from the WildObs database as the most commonly used characteristics for biologists. |
