The document outlines the Species Conservation Profile (SCP), a collaborative platform for creating, reviewing, and publishing IUCN-compliant species conservation profiles. It highlights the benefits of using Pensoft's platform, such as streamlined authoring, peer-review, and dissemination of species data in both human-readable and machine-readable formats. The platform aims to enhance scientific engagement and provide a permanent record for species through continuous updates and metrics tracking.
