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. > > Arfon and the Zooniverse Team > > PS – Find the new blog at http://blog.notesfromnature.org and follow @nfromn on Twitter > > PPS Find us on Twitter @the_zooniverse (our projects are on Twitter too, for example: @galaxyzoo and @cyclonecenter) > > UNSUBSCRIBE INSTRUCTIONS: > You are receiving this email because you have taken part in one or more Zooniverse projects, such as Moon Zoo or Planet Hunters.
