County Recorders

Besides national and local organisations most biodiversity information is held by enthusiastic amateurs who are known as recorders. Anyone can become an observer or a recorder of biodiversity information.
In each county there is usually an expert known as a County recorder. County recorders dedicate a lot of their free time to building and maintaining a database of records on their particular group of expertise for their county. County Recorders verfiy records sent to them by recorders. All recorders should send their records to the relevant county recorder on a regular basis. 
Only records verified by a county recorder are included in the WWBIC database.

Here is a listing of Vice County recorders for the WWBIC region.
