Encyclopedia of Life


Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is a free, online collaborative encyclopedia intended to document all of the 1.8 million species of living organisms known to science, which went live on February 26, 2008 with 30,000 entries. It is compiled from existing databases and from contributions by experts and non-experts on a wiki basis. It aims to build one "infinitely expandable" page for each species, including video, sound, images and text. See this brand new resource at http://www.eol.org/
