Subject:  Some useful websites

For the benefit of list members I thought it useful to post the following list
of websites which is part of an email I have just sent to a colleague.  There is
a variety of information sources available electronically.

   NRE (2000) Threatened Vertebrate Fauna in Victoria (gives status of fauna
   assessed by various experts)
         - this is the new electronic version of the old 1995 document.

Go to the Plants and animals link then to Threatened Species for this document.
