Description
The occurrence Gabon BIDAF2020194USE dataset contains occurrence from Gabon. These occurrences are from the herbarium collections. These collections are numerous, and because of many botanical field visits, this results in piles of unmounted collections in which many species new to science are discovered each year. This demonstrates the need to conserve these collections, which will help facilitate access to specimens and their associated data. The National Herbarium of Gabon, through the BID-AF2020-194-USE project, has enabled data mobilization of these collections. This mobilization concerns the mounting of the specimens and their insertion in the collection cabinets. The occurrences recorded from these collections are the subject of this publication
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 7,981 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
Gabonese biodiversity data are housed in several institutions and their availability is often problematic. To best support decision-makers and data users, data must be reliable and deliverable in appropriate formats. This requires a centralized, effective and easy-to-access database. In most African countries the few databases that exist are underused. For instance, specimen data are exploited by researchers only when they are planning field trips. As strategies to transmit relevant information on plant biodiversity to decision-makers are deficient, this project aims to mobilize biodiversity data and categorize them according to their utilization by local populations, their importance in conservation and their commercial use, in order to support their integration into policy and decision-making processes.
