Metadata Best practices PDF In order to keep the data as structured and user-friendly as possible, we created this metadata standard. Help us to reach our goal by following this easy guideline when you upload your work! Here's the link to the file. Conservation is most frequently place-based. We want to conserve something somewhere. Thus place-based information, aka geospatial data or geodata, can help us: Furthermore, with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) like GLOBIL, we can map and visualize our conservation goals in a consistent, transparent way, raise awareness and engage with the community. Using GLOBIL to best fit for your mapping and communication needs. In GLOBIL you can: Our team created this video highlighting the variety of geospatial tools and open data available in the portal.
