The Historical Taxa Tally includes data that predates the establishment of the Thicket of Diversity, was not funded by ToD, or in some cases has not been conclusively verified. It preserves important context for earlier records while keeping the Verified Taxa Tally focused on records that meet current ToD reporting standards.
