Welcome to the SEWBReC website

South East Wales Biodiversity Records Centre (SEWBReC) is the centre for the collation, management and dissemination of biodiversity data for South East Wales. Our aim is to make appropriate local biodiversity information available to all those who need it, to help ensure that decisions which affect local biodiversity are made using best available data.

We achieve this aim by:

• Supporting the local biological recording community and helping them to manage and mobilise the wealth of information they gather;
• Working with a wide range of organisations (from Welsh Government departments to Wildlife Trusts) to collate and computerise the data they hold;
• Collating and managing these diverse data sets in a central location; and
• Delivering a range of innovative and tailored biodiversity information products and services to meet the needs of our users.

We currently hold over 3 million species records and are constantly working to improve the quality and quantity of our data holdings.
