Queensland Wildlife Records With Location Precision Under 10km

WildNet wildlife records from Queensland contain approved, non-duplicate observations with a location precision of 10,000 meters or less and non-zero counts. This subset is curated by the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Map species distributions using the location precision filter of ≤10,000 meters for spatial analysis.
• Analyze wildlife observation trends by filtering records that are not classed as erroneous or duplicate.
• Study population presence by examining records where the count field is confirmed to be non-zero.

Strengths

• Records are filtered for high location precision, with a threshold of 10,000 meters or less.
• Data is quality-controlled, excluding records classed as erroneous or duplicate.
• Dataset is actively maintained, with a last update date in March 2026.
• Available in multiple GIS formats including SHP, TAB, FGDB, KMZ, GPKG, and XML.

Limitations

• Unknown total record count and specific column structure limits analytical planning.
