Our engineers are still looking in to the network issue that is causing the downtime. Thank you for your patience.

Update: Issue is taking too long to resolve, we are switching servers and falling back to another location. No data loss expected, you may temporarily see some missing images while we sync.

Update: Back online from other server at other location. We are still syncing media. Some photos and sound are missing, but they'll appear soon.

Update: media sync is planned for tomorrow morning (Dutch time).

We have updated our dataset on GBIF @biodiversity.social/@gbif. 67M observations with over 13M photos are available as open data. Together we discover more! ➡️ gbif.org/dataset/8a8630…

Due to an outage at our hosting provider, Observation.org and related platforms and apps are unreachable for some users. We are working on a fix.

The outage has been resolved this morning around 10:30.

Our systems are down for maintenance starting 9:30 CEST. We expect to be back online within 1 hour.

And we're back online!

We are experiencing unexpected downtime after server center maintenance last night. We are working on a solution.

We are working hard and we are making progress, but we do not expect a solution before 12:00 CEST. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

We're back online, and monitoring for any problems remaining. Thanks for your patience and apologies for the interruption!
