> Today we're very pleased to announce our latest project: Notes from Nature 
> (http://www.notesfromnature.org) - through your efforts we can help 
> scientists and researchers make better conservation decisions.
> 
> People have been collecting specimens from the natural world for centuries - 
> minerals, plants, fungi and animals. Today, there are an estimated two 
> billion specimens housed in natural history museums around the world! These 
> biological collections document where species and populations exist now and 
> where they existed decades and centuries before, so they hold irreplaceable 
> information necessary for uncovering the patterns of changes in species 
> distributions and ecosystem composition over time. Scientists use such data 
> and information in order to address key environmental issues we are facing 
> right now, such as the impacts of climate change and how diseases affect 
> wildlife and humans.
> 
> We need you to help us transcribe that data and make it available for further 
> use in biodiversity and conservation research.

> Visit the new site now at http://www.notesfromnature.org

> Thanks for all your help, and we hope to see you on our projects soon.
