The Squirrels of South Asia Database is a collection of occurrence records of all squirrel species (34 specices) that occur in South Asia. Complete occurrence data has been collected for species whose range extends out of South Asia (eg. into Southeast Asia). The data are collated from traditional sources (museums, literature, primary field records), citizen science records, and social media records (14 platforms). Only data that are not already funnelled/present to GBIF are included in this upload. Years covered: 1766 - 2022.

The database is built and curated by the Sciurid Lab at IISER Tirupati (https://sciuridlab.in)
