GBIF Alert is a [GBIF](https://www.gbif.org)-based early alert system for invasive species.

🎉 **GBIF Alert has been awarded the first prize of the [GBIF Ebbe Nielsen Challenge 2023](https://www.gbif.org/fr/news/EQgUzZ4YA75BSeLs1naI9/)!** 🎉 

It is a reusable website engine powered by [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) available under the [MIT license](LICENSE).

Contributions are welcome! See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information.

## Getting started

GBIF Alert allows you to monitor a list of species, and be notified of new occurrences on GBIF via email.

Multiple websites using GBIF alert (called *instances*) exists, in order to target different communities:

- **You are an end-user that just want to be informed of new occurrence in the GBIF network?** Join [an existing instance](#user-content-gbif-alert-instances-in-the-wild) that covers your area and species of interest, register and start configuring your alerts! Here is a demonstration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bixaTGRIZ4A

- **You have more technical knowledge and want to install your own instance of GBIF Alert?** No problem: GBIF Alert is fully configurable, and we provide facilities to make it easy to install and deploy. 

See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for more information.

## GBIF Alert instances in the wild

- LIFE RIPARIAS Early Alert: [production](https://alert.riparias.be) / [development](https://dev-alert.riparias.be) (Targets riparian invasive species in Belgium)

- [GBIF Alert demo instance](https://gbif-alert-demo.thebinaryforest.net/) (Always in sync with the `devel` branch of this repository)

- The Belgian Biodiversity Platform uses GBIF alert under the hood as an API for the ManaIAS project.
