About
This package gives you access to data from GBIF http://www.gbif.org/ via their API.A note about the old GBIF API
The old GBIF API was at http://data.gbif.org/tutorial/services, but is now defunct -
that is, not available anymore. We used to have functions that worked with the old API, but
those functions are now not available anymore because GBIF made the old API defunct.Documentation for the GBIF API
