Streamline Your Taxonomy Data Collection, Management & Reporting

Managing taxonomy is a complex task, especially when dealing with hundreds of thousands of species across vast regions. At Wildnote, we have firsthand experience navigating this challenge as we work to maintain accurate data for over 500,000 species in the United States and Canada.

With species constantly changing status, names evolving, and new discoveries emerging, it's crucial to have a robust taxonomy framework. Our system is designed to streamline the data collection process for botanists and biologists by providing a consistent and efficient way to select and match species with their specific metadata.
