The Open Earth Project aims to "open up" our planet by collecting and displaying the widest range of
information from all corners of the natural world.
Such information includes all types of facts about the natural environment, the events that affect it or
relate to it, as well as the actions and achievements of those who are active in nature. Local, specific
and detailed information can be supplied to and displayed in this website with very little delay, nearly
in real time, by those who are at the source: conservationists, scientists, outdoors and sports people and
anyone who is involved or interested in nature in any way (more about our aims in About the Open Earth Project).
In order to fulfill these aims this website is designed not only to supply, but also
to collect information. Members of the public can supply information on any subject and any location of their choice,
thus making their contribution towards the opening the natural world for the benefit of all.
Members of the public can also contribute by becoming Editors, or by supplying their computing expertise for
the improvement of this website.

can be authors in this website as well as individuals. To supply non-commercial information (Nature Documents) in this
