NLBIF has made a large number of biodiversity databases available on the Internet.
At present, the World Biodiversity Database
offers 20 species banks in all. These information systems offer descriptions,
images, audio and video, literature references, and information on
nomenclature, taxonomic classification, and geographical distribution.
The WBD's species banks also include species identification tools,
glossaries, and general introductions to the taxonomic groups.

Nationaal
Herbarium Nederland - Online Collections
The specimen database of the National Herbarium of the Netherlands (NHN) contains over 300,000 collections (ca. 5% of the entire collection), including type specimens present at Leiden, Utrecht, Wageningen and Amsterdam, important historical collections, wood samples, and collections subjected to ongoing research (e.g., Euphorbiaceae, Annonaceae and Orchidaceae, West and Central African collections). Digital images are available for the type specimens, part of the historical collections and wood samples.
This Dutch-language site contains 7 species banks offering information on nearly 5,000 different species, including birds, insects, fungi and plants, that can be found in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries. The species banks offer descriptions, images, audio and video, literature references, and information on nomenclature, taxonomic classification, and geographical distribution, as well as species identification tools, glossaries, and general introductions to the taxonomic groups.

Zoological
Museum Amsterdam - Specimen Database
The Zoological Museum of Amsterdam curates more than 13 million animal specimens with special strengths in the South East Asian and South American/ Caribbean fauna, as well as in the marine fauna. Information about a selection of these specimen is stored in databases. Some of these databases are searchable online: Amphibia / Reptilia, Aves, Bryozoa, Coelenterata, Coleoptera, Diptera and Porifera.
PROTA is an international, not-for-profit foundation. It intends to synthesize the dispersed information on the approximately 7,000 useful plants of Tropical Africa and to provide wide access to the information through Webdatabases, Books, cd-rom's and Special Products.
The objectives are to bring the published information, now accessible to the resourceful happy few, into the public domain.
This will contribute to greater awareness and sustained use of the 'world heritage of African useful plants', with due respect for traditional knowledge and intellectual property rights.
