The National Biodiversity Network (NBN) will be a partnership of local and National custodians of wildlife information, providing access to everyone within a framework of standards. It will add value and importance to records by making them accessible and will become the national system, which links the demand for wildlife information to its point of collection.

A key part of the NBN is to develop a fully functional national network of LRCs early in the next millennium. The NBN is being promoted by a consortium led by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC), the Natural History Museum (NHM), the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the National Federation for Biological Recording (NFBR) and The Wildlife Trusts (TWT).

For a more in-depth description of the network please visit the National Biodiversity Network site.
