Descriptive Entry
This accession consists of the "Centres of Plant Diversity: The Americas" project website as it existed on September 2, 2016, shortly before the website was taken offline. The Centres of Plant Diversity project, organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, was a three-volume work documenting nearly 250 major sites for conservation of plant diversity worldwide. The website was developed by the National Museum of Natural History to present an online version of the third volume for which it was primarily responsible for coordinating. It launched in approximately 2001 and was never significantly updated. Materials are in electronic format.
