Biodiversity Center has developed the Japan Integrated Biodiversity Information System (J-IBIS) to hold an extensive database of biodiversity information. It includes the Green Census results, information on the center's animal and plant collection, and other relevant documents. The database is accessible through the Internet as well as by other means. Computer networks are also used to monitor the natural environment and to gather information from animal and plant experts. The geographic information system (GIS) and digital mapping techniques are employed to analyze and utilize the stored information as basic data for projects to conserve biodiversity.

Biodiversity Center fills the role of epicenter for biodiversity information, and it also serves as the national focal point of the clearing-house mechanism as prescribed by Convention on Biological Diversity.
