georeference.it is a citizen science platform dedicated to georeferencing natural history specimen records from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Volunteers help assign geographic coordinates to historical museum specimens that lack location data, making biodiversity records more useful for scientific research, conservation planning, and environmental monitoring.
Contributors can search for ungeoreferenced specimens by country, dataset, or locality description, place coordinates on an interactive map, set an uncertainty radius, and submit their georeference. The community then validates submissions through a voting system, ensuring quality and reliability. Every contribution directly improves the scientific value of biodiversity data available to researchers worldwide.
