In this quickly changing world, there has developed a great necessity to learn about our world-wide
biota at an increased rate. Scientists are
predicting that future species declines will approach historical mass extinction levels within this century.
We need to develop better tools to aid taxonomists, field biologists, and environmental educators.
It is imperative that we increase our rate of conducting biological inventories, especially within the tropics,
as well as steering youth toward becoming our future scientists. Symbiota web tools strive to integrate
biological community knowledge and data in order to synthesize a network of databases and tools that will
aid in increasing our overall environmental comprehension.
