The Scientist is reporting the launch of ARKive, a 'digital Noah's ark'.
From ARKive:
It is the Noah's Ark for the Internet era - the world's centralised digital library of films, photographs and sound recordings of species, accessible to all via the world wide web.
ARKive is leading the virtual conservation effort - finding, sorting, cataloguing and copying the key records of species, and building them into a comprehensive and enduring audio-visual record.
Apparently they're desperate for a photo of a Christmas frigatebird (Fregata andrewsi), so if anyone's got one...
