About this Provider

The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) is Australia’s national biodiversity data infrastructure. It allows researchers, decision makers and the community to contribute, access and analyse data on Australia’s plants, animals and fungi. The ALA also supports international research as the Australian node of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

Heading of content section

The open-source Living Atlases software that underpins the ALA’s infrastructure has been adopted by 20 countries for their biodiversity data systems, with a further 14 countries either in discussion or under development. More than 135,000 users currently access ALA data and services, making it one of the world’s most important biodiversity and environmental data infrastructures.

The ALA maintains rich partnerships with the Australian citizen science and biosecurity sectors given their importance in monitoring biodiversity, and a growing Indigenous Ecological Knowledge program framed around incorporating indigenous species names and other traditional knowledge into the ALA.
