Dandjoo Datasets
The Dandjoo Biodiversity Data Platform brings together a diverse range of datasets that capture the richness and complexity of Western Australia’s unique ecosystems. This curated list includes species occurrence records, environmental monitoring data, and more—contributed by government agencies, industry, research institutions, and community groups. Each dataset plays a vital role in supporting evidence-based conservation, land management, and cultural heritage protection.
The “Last updated” date in the table refers to when the dataset provided to the Biodiversity Information Office (BIO) was previously updated.
To explore a specific dataset in Dandjoo, simply click on the dataset name in the table to copy it, then paste it into the dataset search field at https://dandjoo.bio.wa.gov.au.

Mining Tenements, DBCA managed conservation areas, and Local Government Areas can now be searched by code, license number, or name in the Location search box.
Image
The PDF Species List report, based on user feedback, shows species by Conservation status and Kingdom from user-defined searches, with definitions included. Each species entry lists Class, Family, names, Establishment status, and Conservation code.
Image
We have added functions to be able to search, view and download (where available) Systematic Survey Data in the Dandjoo platform.
Image
To enhance value of data for users the following additional data attributes have been added to the data exports to better assist in data filtering.
Image
We have been working hard and now bring you two new ways to search in Dandjoo. These are Kingdom search and Latitude & Longitude search.
Image
From March 2024, Dandjoo will produce a species list for an area of interest inclusive of all known species that has been evident within the area of interest through observation and survey.
Image
Dandjoo is committed to providing biodiversity data to the Western Australian public that is both usable and compliant with legislation regarding sensitive species.
