Indicia is a powerful, open-source toolkit for building wildlife recording websites and applications. I have been involved in its development and use for many years, helping to create practical solutions that enable recording schemes, conservation organisations and biological recorders to collect, manage, verify and share biodiversity data.

Built around a flexible data warehouse and a suite of reusable tools, Indicia supports everything from online recording forms and species-specific projects to sophisticated data searches and reporting. Its integration with Drupal makes it possible to build tailored recording websites that connect accessible user interfaces with robust biodiversity data management.
