BioNews 6 - June/July 2013
This month’s issue focuses on the development of the Dutch Caribbean Biodiversity Database, which addresses one of the biggest gaps for nature conservation on our islands – lack of access to relevant and reliable biodiversity information. The database, which was recently relaunched at www.dcbd.nl is the central repository for all biodiversity-related research and monitoring data, maps and literature for the six islands.
Amongst others, you will find in this sixth issue:
