Body:
There are a range of different approaches to integrated web presentation of biodiversity on a national level, bringing together in various ways research, information, public awareness and participation, policy and other concerns. Just at random, because I've looked at a few recently and like these, and because the Swedish one was helpfully pointed out to me this morning:
- Sweden - Swedish biodiversity centre
- India - Indian biodiversity portal
- Australia - Atlas of Living Australia
- Ireland - National biodiversity data centre
- Mexico - Conabio
- UK - National biodiversity network
Not a particularly consistent selection - some with a primary emphasis on data, some including public participation and awareness, others with research or collections interests - some are institutions, others networks. I'd be interested in other examples - particularly peak integrating portals on a national level - any ideas?
