Need of a field or vocabulary to document endemic status

[tucotuco]

It sounds like there is a clear need for this. I recommend to follow the protocol for a new term request. Be sure to gather the information to meet the justification criteria (i.e., that there are independent groups who have a need to share of consume these data. Also make clear in the new term template that the suggestion is for a new vocabulary term for establishmentMeans.

+1. I was just about to create an issue on the same topic. GBIF helpdesk is asked on a regular basis how publishers can map endemism.

I believe the adequate term to include the "endemic" label could be establishmentMeans as a more detailed specification of native.

It seems GBIF users expect the label to be found as part of a controlled vocabulary in the establishmentMeans term, so it could be a good idea to include it here.
