    This document discusses the need for a new archiving infrastructure for biodiversity data to prevent its loss. It describes three common ways data is lost: when the data disappears, the format becomes unreadable, or the data is unclear. It proposes a new infrastructure with national and thematic nodes, standard metadata, and integration with existing resources like GBIF and LifeWatch to archive biodiversity data through deposit, description, software preservation, migration, and portal services.
