Data - Species Data
Although the KMBRC has only relatively recently been set up, a total of 850,000 species records for the county of Kent are currently held on the Recorder 2002 database. In addition to this another 1 million bird records are held in the COBRA © database. At this early stage in the collation of the county's biological records the species records are increasing at an average rate of about 25,000 per month.All records comply to the National Recording Standard of who, what, where and when. Wherever possible species records are subjected to a process of validation by local and national experts.
The species records have been submitted to the records centre by species interest groups, individual experts, conservation organisations, government agencies, local authorities, businesses and the general public to all of whom we are extremely grateful.
