'BirdBase', Biodiversity Information and Research Database, was jointly developed by Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and Hokkaido Institute of Environmental Sciences between 2000 and 2003, as a Database Development Program of Research Information by JST. This database of 850 species with over 325,000 cases is a collection and integration of information on the bird distribution and important habitats in Hokkaido, Japan and Asia. This system also enables to search the data by specifying the species or the area with the WebGIS and show the result on a map. In addition, the data entry and share system through the Internet by user groups such as bird-watching groups has been developed. Further effort will be made to enrich the data and improve the functions, as well as to promote wider use over Asia, to provide fundamental scientific and political information for the conservation of threatened species and their habitats, and to contribute to the biodiversity conservation in Asia.
