Abstract:
This compiled dataset consists of a value-added analysed GBIF data set in the wider Hindu Kush-Himalaya (HKH) region. The original data source is from individual national contributors found in GBIF. Data are used here for research purposes for the wider HKH region watersheds and to show institutional spread and distribution. Some major outside museums internationally are mentioned too. The dataset consists of MS Excel sheets
Methods and details are specified in the book chapter by Huettmann in Regmi and Huettmann 2020.
This is the first and best compiled data for the study area and is to set a start of such views and investigations towards a better and
more fair access to data, as part of a better and more democratic decision-making process .
Purpose:
Share best-available infrastructure data for the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
