The ALA Biodiversity Data Mobilisation Program 2026 is now open for applications.
To give a sense of what this program supports, the Atlas of Living Australia is sharing a successful project from a previous round. The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory is mobilising over 11,000 tissue samples including freshwater fish and terrestrial vertebrates into the Atlas of Living Australia.
The collection includes threatened species such as the freshwater sawfish and speartooth shark (Glyphis glyphis), and covers habitats across Arnhem Land and the Top End where biodiversity records are currently sparse.
This program is not limited to large institutions. It is open to organisations and individuals holding biodiversity occurrence data, including community groups, environmental consultants, researchers and land managers.
An information and Q&A drop in session will be held on 8 April 2026 for anyone wanting to find out more before applying.
