[Pollinator] Your participation needed - NAPPC IABIN Project

[Kimberly Winter]

Dear NAPPC Partners and Friends,

NAPPC/Coevolution Institute represent the Western Hemisphere for the 
Pollinators Thematic Network (PTN) of the Inter-American Biodiversity 
Information Network (IABIN).  The IABIN-PTN will serve as a portal to 
databases including pollinator information throughout the Americas 
(including links to museum collections, universities, federal agencies, 
etc.).

Your help is requested in identifying resources, needs, priorities, and 
information gaps for pollinators throughout the Western Hemisphere.  The 
results of this inquiry will help to guide the development of a 
comprehensive pollinator information network, which will be made publically 
available online.

If you have not done so already at a NAPPC gathering, please complete our 
questionnaire (approximately 20 minutes) and distribute it to your 
colleagues and friends.  It is available in English, French, Portuguese, and 
Spanish translations; and can be completed online or in Microsoft Word 
format at:

http://pollinators.iabin.net

The Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network (IABIN) is an initiative 
of the countries of the Americas to promote compatible means of collection, 
communication, and exchange of biodiversity information relevant to 
decision-making and education using the Internet.

Please also forward this request to as many people as you can, as soon as 
possible.  The deadline for filling out the questionnaire online  is MARCH 
1, 2007.
