Documentation sites
The web makes sharing information easy. The Foundation uses two websites to share biodiversity information from Somaliland: OpenHerbarium for plants, fungi, and algae; OpenZooMuseum for animals. These sites share information with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) which integrates it with information from many more sites. “Information” includes collection records, images, descriptions, and checklists.
