Coming soon: Utilizing powerful and effective internet technologies for communication and social networking, the Species Alliance website will be a portal to comprehensive community building and informational resources relating to the mass extinction crisis. Channels of involvement such as action networks, forums, and support groups will be instantly accessible. We will feature Biodiversity Blogs, and online student forums will be available for instant publication of research openly accessible through an interactive, region-specific, scalable mapping interface. Teachers will also be able to download our curriculum program and study-guide workbooks from the website.
