THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LIFE

http://www.eol.org/
This site is a:

Comprehensive, collaborative, ever-growing, and personalized, the Encyclopedia of Life is an ecosystem of websites that makes all key information about all life on Earth accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.

...In this first version of the portal, you will find:

  • About 25 exemplar species pages. These pages show the kind of rich environment, with extensive information, to which all the species pages will eventually grow. These pages have been authenticated (endorsed) scientists.
  • Tens of thousands of additional species pages. These pages are authenticated, but do not contain the rich array of information found on the exemplar pages.
  • About 1 million minimal species pages contain the scientific and common names for a species and often have a distribution map, but lack other authenticated information.
