The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) is an online repository of information about Australian plants, animals,[1] and fungi.[2][3] Development started in 2006.[4] The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is an organisation significantly involved in the development of the ALA.[5] The Atlas of Living Australia is the Australian node of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.[5] The ALA is being used to help assess suitability of revegetation projects by determining species vulnerability to climatic and atmospheric change.[6]

The Atlas of Living Australia is hosted by CSIRO and supported by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy.[7]
