  12. Why Georeference • Correct geographic and specimen identification data = dependable occurrence record. • Occurrence data validates the importance of biological collections, especially to non-taxonomists. • Distribution of populations and species ranges • Phylogeography • Niche modelling • Conservation planning and biodiversity management • Provides uncertainty data, which allows data to be evaluated with regards to its fitness for research application and resulting quality of output.
