 PREFACE

 This report provides a guide to selected Internet gopher sites in the style of
 an annotated bibliography plus tables of contents (see the About Gopher
 section for an explanation of this program).  It is part of an ongoing effort
 at the Environment and Natural Resources Information Center (ENRIC) to provide
 a "road map" for information about international development and environment.
 The US Agency for International Development (USAID) started the ENRIC project
 in 1991 to assist with its program planning and reporting needs in the fields
 of natural resources and the environment.

 Biodiversity was chosen as the theme due to an increased emphasis on the topic
 in the Agency's new Strategy for Sustainable Development.  Although the focus
 is on biodiversity, printouts of the on-screen menus for each site will also
 give you an overview of what other kinds of information are available for
 other related environmental themes.   We chose the Internet as the scope of
 the report because USAID, along with many other organizations, is just fully
 connecting, and many development professionals are wondering what is available
 and where to find it.

 There are many other ways to access resources on the net, but a survey of
 gopher sites was chosen as a starting point because gopher presents the best
 combination of ease of use, speed in locating resources, and widespread
 implementation.  Still, many people only have access to Internet e-mail and
 will not be able to run the gopher program (contact your Internet service
 provider if you are unsure of your status).  The gopher program made
 navigation of the net and downloading of information quite easy.  Finding the
 locations of specific pieces or types of information still requires some
 research; nevertheless, it is a giant step forward in desktop access to what
 is literally a world of information.  I hope to include other forms of access
 in a future editions of this report.  If you would like more information on
 the Internet itself, there are many books available.  The one I have used the
 most is Ed Krol's The Whole Internet User's Guide and Catalog.

 A wide variety of international biodiversity information was found, including
 international treaties, project and strategic plans, newsletters,
 bibliographies, directories of experts, taxonomic lists and even images. The
 main deficiency was a lack of meta-data -- information about where the
 documents and databases provided come from, what they include and how they are
 maintained.  Also still missing from gopherspace  are many of the most
 prominent non-governmental organizations in the field, such as the World
 Wildlife Fund, the World Conservation Monitoring Center, the Nature
 Conservancy, and Conservation International.  I speculate that they will join
 in once the number of Internet users becomes significant enough (especially in
 developing countries and among donors) to justify the use of their resources.
 In fact, WCMC already has established a file exchange site (ftp wcmc.org.uk)
 and is working with CIESIN to develop more advanced tools.

 The Internet is vast and rapidly expanding, which means that I have
 undoubtably missed some important information sources and that contents of
 this report will shortly be outdated.  I hope to be able to maintain this list
 (maybe even in gopher form at USAID's site), so I would appreciate any
 information regarding missing resources or the usefulness of this report in
 general.  In any case, most of the gopher addresses listed will probably
 remain the same and should provide you with a many starting points for your
 own research.

 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

 Most of the resources found fell into one of the following categories of
 information:
  -   International treaties (Cornell gopher, United Nations)
  -   Project plans and strategic objectives (World Bank, USAID, CGNET)
  -   Newsletters, e.g. ICCBD News, Biological Conservation News (EcoNet,
      Smithsonian)
  -   Bibliographies (Oregon State, US EPA, Brazil)
  -   Directories of experts (Harvard, Brazil)
  -   Taxonomic lists, databases and images (Harvard, Smithsonian)

 The Australian ERIN gopher provides the best example of a wide range
 information useful for managers and policymakers, although its contents focus
 mostly on Australia.  In addition to the types of information listed above,
 ERIN includes summary statistics, maps, endangered species lists, protected
 area management plans, legislation, a national index of ecosystems, and
 conference postings and proceedings.  Another interesting type of information
 encountered was 1-3 page write ups of the problems facing individual species
 on the British Columbia site.

 The main deficiency found in accessing these data was a lack of meta-data
 (i.e. information about the information presented), such as where it comes
 from and  how it is managed.  Using OSU's bibliographic database as an
 example, users are left with the following questions:  Where do the citations
 come from?  What journals are included?   How frequently is it updated?

 ABOUT GOPHER

 Gopher is a program which facilitates setting up a menu interface on a
 computer connected to the Internet.   Internet users can then connect to the
 gopher site (without any type of login procedure) and navigate through the
 information stored there by way of these menus.  Choosing a menu item can not
 only take you to information stored on the host computer, it can also take you
 to information stored on any other gopher site on the net.  In fact, many of
 the biodiversity listings found were simply pointers to the same few sites
 which actually contained the information.

 Gopher has incredible potential for providing easy desktop access to
 information from multiple organizations around the world.  However, as a free
 information resource provided by individual institutions, gophers are likely
 to face some future challenges, including securing funding for continued
 maintenance, and whether it will be feasible to charge users for information
 gathered on a cost-recovery basis.

 ABOUT SITE SELECTION FOR THIS REPORT

 The original list of sites to investigate was generated by a Veronica (another
 Internet program) search for the keyword "biodiversity" of all gopher sites
 listed at the University of Cologne.  This search produced a menu of 36 items.
 Many of these items turned out to be simply pointers to other sites, and many
 of the major international organizations did not appear in this list (e.g. UN,
 World Bank, CGIAR).  Additional sites were found through following up pointers
 to other sites contained in this original set and through visiting known sites
 of major organizations.

 KEY FOR THE DATABASE REPORT

 Name:               A name chosen to describe the site

 Location:                The location to give with the gopher command to link
                          to the site (e.g. gopher kaos.erin.gov.au)

 Brief Description:  Written by the author for an audience interested in
                     international development or taken from the gopher
                     itself.

 Selected Menus:

 These are actual menus as they appear on your screen when you link to a site.
 The following symbols tell you about navigation and content of the menus:

 -->  indicates a menu item was selected and the submenu (with that title)
      will follow; no arrow means no items from the menu were chosen and
      anything that follows came from a selection from an earlier menu

 The end of each menu line indicates what type of information it leads to:

      nothing indicates it leads to a document, which is displayed on-screen &
      you may download
 /    indicates it leads to another menu
 ?    indicates it leads to a database search which will usually produce a
      custom menu of items containing the keyword(s) you specify.

 In the gopher system only one menu appears on the screen at a time, and you
 make one selection from this menu at a time.  Since multi-level menus can
 quickly become voluminous when printed out, I have combined multiple
 selections (-->) from a single menu and multiple menus on each page (each menu
 begins with a title line followed by numbered choices).  The first menu
 presented here is usually the first you see when entering the site (called the
 "root").  Where initial menus were not relevant to the biodiversity topic, the
 first menu included here will be preceded by the menu selections needed to
 reach it.

 NAME:  Brazilian Tropical Data Base

 LOCATION:  bdt.ftpt.br

 BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

 The Tropical Data Base (Base de Dados Tropical - BDT) is a
 major hub of biodiversity networking activities.  It is
 maintained by the Fundacao Tropical de Pesquisas e
 Tecnologia "Andre' Tosello", a Brazilian not-for-profit,
 private foundation.  In addition to containing a number of
 directories for brazilian experts and organizations,  it is
 also home to two major international efforts:  the
 Biodiversity Information Network and Bioline Publications.

 The Biodiversity Information Network (BIN21) evolved out of
 the 1992 Workshop on the Needs and Specifications for a
 Biodiversity Information Network, held in Campinas, Brazil and
 sponsored by the International Union of Biological Sciences,
 the International Union of Microbiological Societies and the
 World Federation for Culture Collections.  Funding came from a
 number of brazilian organizations, UNEP and the British
 Council.  A follow-up conference was held in early 1994, and
 documents for this still appear to be flowing into the site.
 They also maintain an e-mail message broadcast system (a
 listserver) for biodiversity called BIODIV-L.

 Bioline Publications is an electronic publishing service for
 bioscientists which provides abstracts and summaries of papers
 in journals, contents lists and summaries of reports and
 newsletters free of charge, with full-text and graphics
 available for a fee.  Although the list of publications
 included is still relatively small, it is certainly
 international and provides more information for free on the
 publications than I have seen anywhere else.  Most of the
 titles in Bioline focus on microbiology, but there are a few
 which focus on larger scale biodiversity issues, including:
 Biopolicy International (African Centre for Technology
 Studies), Tropical Biodiversity (Indonesian Foundation for
 Adv. Biol. Sci.), and the Biodiversity Coalition newsletter.
 A search of all publications for the keyword "biodiversity"
 produced an extensive list (see below), however many items on
 the list did not seem to contain a reference to biodiversity.

 NAME:  Smithsonian CONSLINK

 LOCATION:  [email-masked] (not a gopher - see below)

 BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

 Although CONSLINK is not a gopher server, it provides many
 biodiversity resources in an interactive e-mail format.  This
 type of "listserver" format is a bit less intuitive than
 gopher but more widely accessible since anyone with e-mail can
 access it.  Listservers usually have two main functions:
     1)  to handle automated mailing for discussion group/list
 about a subject, where anyone who has joined the group can
 mail a message in and it gets broadcast to all others who are
 part of the group, and
     2)  to serve as an archive for files which can be mailed
 out to anyone interested through automated commands.

 CONSLINK is the name of a discussion group about biological
 conservation maintained at this site.  It also has an archive
 of files, which includes the following newsletters:

 -    Biological Conservation Newsletter from the Dept of Botany at the
      Smithsonian
 -    Biodiversity Conservation Strategy Update from the World Resources
      Institute
 -    Captive Breeding Specialist Group News from IUCN
 -    Conservation Digest Journal of Biopolitics, published by the Parsons
      Group
 -    Environmental Information Systems News from the Program on EIS in
      Sub-saharan Africa at the World Bank
 -    Meetings, a list of conferences, symposia and workshops related to
      biological conservation
 -    TROPINET, published by the Association for Tropical Biology

 To get started with this service send an e-mail message to the
 address listed above with a blank subject line and containing
 the message GET CONSLINK HELP.  The listserver computer will
 then send you an e-mail message containing a list of the
 commands to access information at this site.

 SELECTED MENUS:

 This site does not use the gopher menuing system.

 USAID is one of the largest donors to international
 biodiversity conservation work, spending an estimated $90
 million on this area in 1993.  Their gopher is quite new and
 still mostly just a framework, but it does contain some
 information about the Agency and foreign assistance in
 general, including their latest environmental strategy paper,
 a phone directory and the text of the new foreign assistance
 act.

 NAME:  US Environmental Protection Agency -- Future Studies

 LOCATION:  futures.wic.epa.gov

 BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

 Future Studies has provided an interesting mix of information.
 The only document which obviously directly related to
 biodiversity was a Megatrends Project paper on biodiversity
 issues--a collaborative effort between the World Resources
 Institute (WRI) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
 (EPA) designed to address the overall question: "What major
 forces, trends, events, uncertainties, and/or surprises will
 have significant impacts--positive or negative--on the quality
 of the global environment, or on our ability to protect the
 environment, over the next 30 years?".  Other possibilities
 for biodiversity information which would need further
 investigation included papers in the "Driving variables and
 indicators" section and their hypertext guides.

 NAME:  World Bank

 LOCATION:  gopher.worldbank.org

 BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

 A new policy on disclosure of operational information,
 approved by the Executive Directors in August 1993, has led to
 a number of their documents being available on-line.  This
 policy is not retroactive, so only documentation for new
 projects is available.  The documents and references available
 are:

 1.    The PROJECT INFORMATION DOCUMENT (PID), a new World Bank
 document, makes project information available while a project
 is under preparation.  It  provides a brief summary of the
 evolving project and is subject to updating  and expansion as
 project preparation proceeds. PIDs are available through the
 Public Information Center (PIC) and via internet for projects
 for which  preparation officially started after October 1,
 1993. (Full document  available on-line).

 2.    STAFF APPRAISAL REPORTS (SARs) for projects approved by
 the Bank's  Board of Directors after January 1, 1994.  The
 SAR is the final report that  contains a description of the
 project and how it will be implemented.   (Abstract available
 on-line).

 3.    Following consultation with the governments concerned,
 COUNTRY  ECONOMIC REPORTS that provide analysis of important
 macroeconomic issues in  various sectors of the economy are
 available at the same time that they are  distributed to the
 Board of Directors of the Bank.  This policy is effective  for
 reports issued after January 1, 1994.  (Abstract available
 on-line).

 4.    SECTORAL POLICY PAPERS approved by the Board of
 Directors after  January 1, 1994.  (Will be available on-line
 soon).

 5.    ENVIRONMENTAL DATA SHEETS prepared and updated quarterly
 for each  project in the Bank's lending program.  (Full
 document available on-line).

 6.    ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS & ANALYSES for projects likely
 to have  significant environmental impact.  The assessments
 and analyses are available  from the PIC after the report is
 released locally by the government in the  country concerned.
 (Only title available on-line).

 7.    NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION PLANS (NEAPs) prepared by
 governments  will be available from the PIC after the Bank has
 officially received the  consent of the government concerned
 to release it.  (Only title available  on-line).

 8.    IFC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS & REVIEW SUMMARIES for
 IFC-funded  projects likely to have significant environmental
 impact will be available  60 days before the project is
 presented to the IFC Board of Directors.   (Only title
 available on-line).

 9.    OED PRECIS produced by the Bank's Operations Evaluation
 Department after January 1, 1994.  These publications point
 out lessons and  recommendations based on the Bank's
 experience in implementing development  projects.  (Will be
 available on-line soon).

 Their traditional publications catalog is also available for
 searching by keyword.
