Encyclopedia Of Life Web Site

In a whale-sized project, a group of scientific organizations plans to compile everything known about Earth's 1.8 million known species and put it all on one public website. The effort, called the Encyclopedia of Life, will include species descriptions, pictures, maps, videos, sound, sightings by amateurs, and links to entire genomes and scientific journal papers.
