With the subject of interactivity being the hot topic this week I wanted to share a web-site with you. ARKive is an ever-expanding multimedia database that contains a wealth of information about the world’s most endangered species. Their mission is to promote the conservation of the world's threatened species through the power of wildlife imagery.
Animal, plant, and fungus lovers can explore the site by zooming in on
specific classes (mammals, reptiles, etc.), eco-regions (such as South
America’s Atlantic forest), continents, and countries. Be sure to check out the Google Earth
3D interface that helps viewers learn about threatened marine species, and the
site’s educational resource pages are geared toward specific age groups. But wherever you land, you’re sure to see a
wealth of images and videos—each of which serves as a reminder of how
much we stand to lose by letting any one of these species disappear.
