Description
Effective biodiversity management, policymaking and decision-making depend on the existence of reliable data on the conservation situation of species and their habitats. The IUCN/SSC Cuban Plant Specialist Group (CubanPSG) has been producing ed list assessments and compiling records of native plants of Cuba since 1998. This resource present sites of occurrence or distributional data of the Cuban native plants used in conservation assessments.
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 49,741 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.
Versions
The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.

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6,132 species conservation assessments, which include more than 18,800 occurrence records of native species, over 4,000 unpublished and undigitized occurrences of invasive species, and 16,600 unpublished digitized occurrence records from 368 conservation assessments of native species.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 gathered information about its habitat and population, threats and trend, but also sites of present occurrence of taxa. Distributional data had been gathered based on field observations, scientific publications and expert in local flora, as well as herbaria.

Method step description:
- We gathered all sites of present and past occurrence used in Species Conservation Assessment, as well as, any site of present recorded in CubanPSG database, and plant inventories included in research technical reports and cuban flora publications. Digitalize the information in our database. After gather the occurrence information, were georreferenced the localities, when were missing. Last step was update taxonomic information for each record.
