Sightings imports to Birda are not submitted to the GBIF as we assume that all imports have already been submitted via their source platform. We do this to prevent the duplication of sighting records being published on GBIF.

For more information on how your bird sightings can benefit science and wildlife conservation and how to manage your GBIF sharing preferences on Birda, please read this article: Birda and the GBIF - How your sightings benefit science
