In 2005, IBAT was founded by BirdLIfe International, Conservation International, IUCN and UNEP-WCMC.

IBAT provides biodiversity data in an integrated way from three main databases - the World Database on Protected Areas, the World Database on Key Biodiversity Areas and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

These constitute essential data sets on biodiversity, and play an important role in decision-making by different stakeholders. 2021 also saw the launch of STAR - Species Threat Abatement and Restoration. STAR allows companies to quantify their contribution to reducing the global risk of species extinction.
