The Time is Right for Movebank

Thousands of Biologists collect animal movement data but there are no tools to save or compare these. Most data are used once and then disappear into a filing cabinet.

Movebank facilitates long-term comparisons of these data making it possible to address pressing questions such as the effects of global climate change and human-caused landscape change.

It also compliments new technologies for collecting data in real-time by
providing live interaction and alerts.
