Species+ Website

I gave this talk at WCMC in Informatics Ignite Talks of August 2013.
The talk focus on the goals behind developing the Species+ Website which is part of the Species+ Project, and how we believe that we have achieved them.
The Species+ Project is a collaboration between the CITES Convention and WCMC to redevelop the Species databases held at UNEP-WCMC.
The Species+ Website is the public interface for this project and will allow users from governments, traders and other organisations to find the information regarding CITES and CMS listed species and information regarding their protection status.
Expected launch of Species+ is September 2013.
