About

WorldClim version 1 was developed by Robert J. Hijmans, Susan Cameron, and Juan Parra, at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley, in collaboration with Peter Jones and Andrew Jarvis (CIAT), and with Karen Richardson (Rainforest CRC).
We thank the 1000s of people, from all countries of the world, who day after day recorded the weather data from which WorldClim was derived, and those who compiled national and international databases from these records. NatureServe provided financial support for the development of the interpolated layers available here; We also thank Arthur Chapman (CRIA), Pilar Hernandez (NatureServe), Niels Raes (Dutch National Herbarium) Mohammed Irfan Ullah (ATREE) and Catherine Graham for their help and suggestions.
