Abstract

The Biodiversity Information System of Colombia - SiB, the Alexander von Humboldt Institute (IAvH) and the Colombian Society of Mastozoology (SCMas) joined technical, administrative and financial efforts to add information on mammals to the national biodiversity inventory in the country they occur, through cooperation agreement No. 17 -16-062-022CE. The products of this agreement will be described in this correspondence and cover the updating of the last species reference list (Ramírez-Chaves et al. 2016), the creation of 50 species records and the publication of more than 3500 biological records of mammals on the SiB platform under the Darwin Core standard. We use as a work tool a concerted, collaborative and dynamic process between public and private universities, Biological Collections at the head of their Curators, Non-Governmental Organizations, fellows and partners of the SCMas.
