What is Biodiversity?
All living things we know of are part of the Earth's biodiversity, the diversity of life. The concept of biodiversity can be divided up in levels such as on an ecosystem level, a species level and a genetic level. In these pages we are restricting our view of biodiversity to species. We're building a sort of tree of life.
This project is sorted via classical systematics with levels such as Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and species. However, we have created quick links to some of the more popular groups of interest. These groups do not share similar taxonomic rank, but are grouped solely to help the enthusiast navigate to these popular species.
Can I help add to these pages?
Yes! We need your help to make this a valuable resource for everyone. If you feel that you are qualified to help add content whether as a passioned enthusiast, a dedicated teacher or a knowledgeable student, we encourage you to apply to become a content producer. That means you'll have access to add species pages! Currently we're working on our database management system but please have patience. We'll be in contact with you once we've organized everything for you to become a content producer as well!
