Hello All, I m Neha Singh, working in a NGO " World Institute For Nature (WIN)" ( http://worldnatureinstitute.org ).Under WIN's wing,a Global Biodiversity Inventory is in making named as- *Spandan -the Biodiversity Inventory by People * ( http://www.spandan-bip.org). Anyone, across the globe can share their biodiversity records on Spandan -the bip .The data on Spandan-the bip could be used for scientific analysis ,research and forecasting purposes. For adding the data, only mandatory requirements are -
1) Photograph of the species. 2) Name of the observer. 3) Locality, where species was observed. 4)Observation date/ date range. 5) Common name of the species ( if not known , U can put " flowering plant"/ "ornamental plant" in the Common name field). The experts on the Spandan -the bip then validate the data and add taxonomical information regarding that. Experts at Spandan -the bip are researchers, academicians, naturalists,,botanists ,scientists etc. I, as one of the experts, validate the data for spandan-the bip and.the group's discussion (at eflora of india) helps much. I welcome the group members of eflora of India to put their plant data on spandan -the bip. U can also apply as experts on Spandan the bip or can apply for various honorary positions, available on the WIN website. If someone has a shortage of time then I'll gladly put their data, on their behalf,with their name and copyright on the image, on Spandan -the bip.I would just need the mandatory information regarding the data. Thanks.
