The Malaysia Biodiversity Information System (MyBIS) is the national clearing-house mechanism and centralized biodiversity data platform established to support biodiversity conservation, monitoring, and policy decision-making in Malaysia. Developed and managed by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN), MyBIS facilitates access to biodiversity-related information including species data, protected areas, ecosystems, and conservation initiatives. The system serves as an integrated platform linking datasets from multiple stakeholders such as government agencies, academic institutions, and research organizations. It supports Malaysia’s commitments to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and aligns with national biodiversity strategies and action plans. MyBIS enhances evidence-based policymaking, promotes knowledge sharing, and strengthens biodiversity governance through improved data accessibility, standardization, and visualization tools. The platform also contributes to monitoring biodiversity status, supporting conservation planning, and raising public awareness on biodiversity conservation in Malaysia. |
