LifeWatch: the guide
LifeWatch is an ambitious project to create a state-of-the-art facility supporting biodiversity research. LifeWatch will provide access to a wide range of biodiversity datasets, modelling and analysis tools. It will also support the creation of a network of users, enabling them to share resources and collaborate on projects.
