Cuban Redlisted Plant Species – 2023

Data Records

The data in this checklist 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 4,672 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

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

This project try to improve Cuban plant data accessibility for conservation planning, policymaking and decision-making by organizing, consolidating and publishing CubanPSG data assessing biodiversity data user needs training students, partners and stakeholders on data mobilization making CubanPSG data available to the organizations devoted to the preservation of Cuban plant diversity and the public via GBIF and the CubanPSG websites. The project will mobilize data from at least 6,132 species conservation assessments, which include more than 18,800 occurrence records of native species, over 4,000 unpublished and undigitized occurrences of invasive species, and 16,600 unpublished digitized occurrence records from 368 conservation assessments of native species. By publishing the mobilized data through GBIF.org and its own website, the CubanPSG will promote the use the data in conservation planning, policymaking and decision-making through close collaboration with biodiversity stakeholders and other data holders.

Sampling Methods

CubanPSG performed during last two decades species conservation assessments on native plants of Cuba. For that purpose had been used information about its habitat and population, threats and trend, based on field observations and data from field prospections, also herbaria records, publications and local expert consultation. We also gathering as information as possible in order to inform management. The checklist is a comprehensive compilation of species addressed for this purpose.

Method step description:

1. Gathering information about state of species habitat and population, threats and trend, based on field observations and data from field prospections, also herbaria records, publications and local expert consultation. Conservation assessment using IUCN categories and criteria 3.1. Input relevant information about the taxon and the conservation assessment in a database. Produce a checklist in a similar way to red list, and addition of common names, presence in protected areas registered, as well as conservation assessment rationale.
