Roadmap

Our plan for building the world's most accessible biodiversity intelligence platform. SpeciesRadar is in its early stages — the core platform is live but the majority of species and country data is still being refined, enriched, and verified.

Foundation & Core Platform

COMPLETE

Jan – Mar 2025

  • IUCN Red List data pipeline — 54,000+ threatened species ingested
  • Basic species profiles with conservation status and threat data
  • Country biodiversity dashboards — framework live, data enrichment ongoing
  • Interactive species explorer with filters and search
  • Extinction timeline visualization
  • Mobile-responsive design with PWA support

Data Enrichment & Community

IN PROGRESS

Apr 2025 – ongoing

  • Species profile enrichment — AI-generated summaries, images, and habitat data being added progressively
  • Country profile completion — most country pages still awaiting full enrichment and verification
  • Data verification pipeline — cross-referencing species data against IUCN assessments
  • Citizen science sighting reports with photo upload
  • User accounts with sighting history
  • Species of the Day feature
  • Public roadmap page

Advanced Data & Analytics

PLANNED

Q3 2026

  • Population trend charts from IUCN assessment history
  • Habitat loss overlays using satellite imagery
  • Protected area mapping with WDPA data
  • Threat analysis dashboards by category
  • Species comparison tool

AI-Powered Features

PLANNED

Q4 2026

  • AI species identification from photos
  • Natural language species search
  • Automated conservation news aggregation
  • Predictive extinction risk modelling
  • AI-generated regional biodiversity reports

Platform & Integrations

PLANNED

Q1 2027

  • Public API for researchers and developers
  • GBIF observation data integration
  • eBird and iNaturalist sync
  • Embeddable species widgets for other websites
  • Bulk data export for research use

Global Scale & Impact

PLANNED

Q2 2027

  • Multi-language support (ES, FR, PT, ZH)
  • Regional conservation organisation partnerships
  • Education mode for schools and universities
  • Annual State of Biodiversity report
  • Open source core data pipeline
