I am referring to creating and maintaining the database. Some fields (e.g., conservation status) are populated by data from existing databases. It would be quite a bit of work to create and maintain a database. There are also very many species with poorly-understood distributions that are likely to ...

It's a lot of work creating and maintaining the database, though. Who's going to be doing it?
