Explore the new and improved, freely-accessible Map of Life platform! Whether you’re looking for biodiversity information for a country or exploring species data for the first time, our refreshed platform makes it easier than ever.

(1/2) XPRIZE is proud to be at the Yale Innovation Summit supporting Map of Life, the second place winner of our #XPRIZERainforest competition. From high-fidelity local precision to global trends, @MapofLife_AI is turning complex biodiversity data into decision-ready insight.

👆This highlights the importance of utilizing multiple measures to drive comprehensive results. There’s still more to uncover but this study is bringing us one step closer to a fuller picture of global biodiversity. Learn more ➡️ nature.com/articles/s4155…

🪲 Measuring biodiversity isn’t a one size fit’s all. On the contrary, in this study, applying measurements of species richness, species range rarity, and phylogenetic distinctiveness each told a different piece of the story and ultimately uncovered different patterns.

What it took to map most of known butterfly species… Recently published in the Nature Ecology and Evolution journal, our new study mapped 65% of known butterfly species, a milestone for insects which remain chronically understudied. 🦋

This #EarthDay2025 isn't just a celebration, it’s a checkpoint. A reminder that it takes cross-sector collaboration, integrating science, technology, & local knowledge to drive meaningful change on the ground and worldwide.

We're currently attending #SFClimateWeek and while we're energized by the momentum and bold work being done, we're also clear-eyed about the scale of the challenge. At #MapofLife, we're building solutions that move the needle ⬇️

Whether that's a scientist struggling to make sense of their data to drive change, or a corporation wanting to assess their ecological impact but not knowing where to start⬇️

12,000+ butterflies were studied worldwide, here's what we know: • ⛰️ butterflies love the mountains • 👀 there's a lack of data on insects • ‼️ mountain hotspots are refuges of butterfly diversity and may turn into extinction traps as the world warms Read on ⬇️
