2003 By decision of the OFEFP and OFES, the CSCF is charged with the installation of the Swiss Node within the world network of biodiversity information diffusion (Global biodiversity information facility). It has employed its eighth collaborator.
2002 The CSCF Antenna for the south of the Alps is created at the Natural History Museum of Lugano.
2001 The CSCF is recognized as the National Centre of competence for fauna by the Confederation. After discussion with the cantons, the OFEFP increases its financial contribution to cover the totality of its operational budget.
The University of Neuchâtel perpetuates officially its logistical and technical support for the CSCF.
Opening of two interactive servers of cartographic and tabular information on www.cscf.ch.
1999 SAEFL charges the CSCF with defining a periodic revision strategy of the red list species of Swiss fauna and ensures it of the complementary means for launching new projects.
Moreover it is charged with the collection of essential data for the indicators Z3/Z4 Odonata, Rhopalocera and Orthoptera of the BDM-CH project
The CSCF antenna for the German-speaking part of Switzerland is created in Agroscope FAL in Reckenholz. Its task will be to develop and bring up to date a data base describing the ecology of Swiss fauna. This data base is an important complement to its chorologic data base managed at the headquarters.
1995 With the aid of the Neuchâtel canton, federal Office of education and science (OFES) and DCAL, the CSCF acquires the geographical information system ARCINFO. It finances a high capacity network of its machines and those of the Natural History Museum. The Natural History Museum has offered a larger working space.
1998 The CSCF is presented online.
1990 The CSCF foundation is created. Its members, the University of Neuchâtel , the commune of Neuchâtel and the Swiss league for the nature conservation (currently Pro Natura) guarantee the foundation respectively, premises, information technology and financial support.
It is officially recognized by the Swiss Agency for the Environment, Forests and Landscape (SAEFL) and the majority of Swiss cantons are committed to covering their operating expenses. The director was nominated and four collaborators employed.
1985 The CSCF is created in Neuchâtel under the initiative of Willy Matthey (University of Neuchâtel), Christophe Dufour (Natural History Museum), Willy Geiger (Pro Natura Suisse) and Jean-Carlo Pedroli (Service of hunting and fishing of the canton de Neuchâtel). It organizes its first activities in the follow-up of two national inventories devoted to the diurnal butterflies and the dragonflies. Its data base is established on ORACLE at the informatic centre of the University (DCAL).
