EOL – Encylopedia of Life

Currently TRYING TO STUDY

“Imagine an electronic page for each species of organism on Earth available everywhere by single access on command – E.O Wilson

The Encyclopedia of Life is a collaborative scientific effort led by the Field Museum of Natural History, Harvard University, Marine Biological Laboratory, Missouri Botanical Garden, Smithsonian Institution, and Biodiversity Heritage Library, a consortium including the core institutions and also the American Museum of Natural History (New York), Natural History Museum (London), New York Botanical Garden, and Royal Botanic Gardens (Kew). Ultimately, the Encyclopedia of Life will provide an online database for all 1.8 million species now known to live on Earth. When completed, http://www.eol.org will serve as a global biodiversity tool, providing scientists, policymakers, students, and citizens information they need to discover and protect the planet and encourage learning and conservation. – taken from EOL

This awesome project is expected to be ready to use by mid 2008. Check it out at http://www.eol.org/home.html
