Freshwater Biodiversity – Bricks of life
Welcome to BioFresh
What is BioFresh? BioFresh is an EU-funded international project that aims to build a global information platform for scientists and ecosystem managers with access to all available databases describing the distribution, status and trends of global freshwater biodiversity. BioFresh integrates the freshwater biodiversity competencies and expertise of 19 research institutions. We offer a press kit, with range of information and resources about BioFresh which can be downloaded in one click (more information and download).
The new face of BioFresh
A lot of new and very interesting things are going on at moment. Currently we are developing the BioFresh platform - the network of global freshwater biodiversity. It is in the phase of testing right now and will be launched soon. It will combine all parts of our new webservices under a complete new designed user interface. Fresher, cleaner and more easier to find what you are looking for. We are sure that you will like it. So stay tuned and visit us again in early summer.
