Since 2001, the German Ministries for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) have been partnering with GEO Magazine to organize "Biodiversity Days" in Germany and in various developing countries. Local leaders, political decision makers, biodiversity experts and key media have worked with ordinary people to carry out these national action days. Related events have been organized with up to 1,000 people taking part. They have received broad media coverage in Germany and the countries in which they were held. "Biodiversity Days" have thus contributed to political agenda setting and promoted the conservation of biodiversity in more than 10 countries. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
"Early Classics in Biogeography, Distribution, and Diversity Studies: To 1950" is a bibliography and full-text archive designed as a service to advanced students and researchers engaged in work in biogeography, biodiversity, history of science, and related studies. All items in the bibliography are primary sources and were published in 1950 or before. The subjects involved touch on fields ranging from ecology, conservation, systematics and physical geography, to evolutionary biology, cultural biogeography, paleobiology, and bioclimatology--but have in common a relevance to the study of geographical distribution and diversity. ...

This hardcopy version was originally published in 1978 to provide a general description of the ecosystem geography of the Nation as shown on the 1976 map "Ecoregions of the United States." It was first published as an unnumbered publication by the Intermountain Region, USDA Forest Service, Ogden, Utah. It was reprinted in 1980 by the Forest Service, Washington, DC, as Miscellaneous Publication No. 1391. An explanation of the basis for the regions delineated on the map was presented elsewhere (Bailey 1983). ... [Information of the supplier]

Biodiversity Explorer is devoted to showing and explaining the diversity, biology and interactions of life on earth, particularly the life we have here in southern Africa (south of the Kuneni and Zambezi rivers). Our approach is to start with familiar organisms that we see or experience around us but which we know little about, and use them as a springboard to examining more unfamiliar topics. There is a huge body of scientific research that underpins our understanding of life on earth and the goal of Biodiversity Explorer is to draw on this research and present it in an understandable and integrated way. Biodiversity Explorer was first launched on 18 May 2000 (International Museums Day) and has been steadily growing in content and profile since then. We started with insects and spiders and are now expanding to other groups such as plants and vertebrates. ... [Information of the supplier]
The aim of naturgucker.de is to publish in a central location, and for the first time make publicly available, the hundreds of thousands of observations of nature made every year by thousands of naturalists, which have, until now, in many cases remained unused in private archives. Publish your observations of nature here and thereby give nature protection more material with which to argue. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]

Offene-Naturführer möchte Naturführer, Bestimmungsschlüssel, sowie dazugehörige Lehr- und Lernmaterialien für Schulen, sekundäre Bildung, Studium und den Naturschutz frei verfügbar machen. Nutzer sollen die Materialien kopieren und verändern dürfen (z. B. um Teilschlüssel/Arbeitsblätter für ihre Region, einen Naturpark oder speziell den Schulgarten anpassen zu können) und sie online oder offline – z. B. auf CD gebrannt oder auf dem Mobiltelefon abgespeichert – nutzen können. Dies wird durch eine offene Lizenz ("Creative Commons") erreicht, die (vergleichbar mit "Open Source Software" wie Linux oder Open Office) eine offene Weiterentwicklung erlaubt. Dieses Portal ist gegenwärtig eine Demo-Seite, die vom EU-Projekt "Key to Nature", dem Bundesamt für Naturschutz - Fachgebiet "Botanischer Artenschutz" (mit Beiträgen aus "FloraWeb"), von der Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik (GfBS), dem Deutschen Jugendbund für Naturbeobachtung (DJN) und der Naturkundlichen Gesellschaft (Österreich) betrieben wird. ...

Each name in the following list of naturalists is linked to a corresponding capsule "chrono-biographical" sketch of that individual prepared by the authors. Coverage extends from approximately 1950 backward in time as far as the eighteenth century; figures from all over the world are included (though there is admittedly a decided Anglo-American bias). The target subject here is biogeography, but this being a broad field there are many persons on the list who are better known as climatologists, zoologists, botanists, ecologists, oceanographers, paleontologists, etc.--in other words, who made their main reputations in cognate disciplines. This service has been set up to support my two Early Classics in Biogeography, Distribution and Diversity Studies websites, and because of this no claims are made of having produced a list of all workers relevant to these studies. ...
