Biological Diversity
Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS)
The Australian Biological Resources Study aims to provide the underlying taxonomic knowledge necessary for the conservation and sustainable use of Australia's biodiversity. ABRS supports research on Australian organisms through a Grants and Scholarship scheme and publishes series of books on our Flora and Fauna.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the variety of life: the different plants, animals and micro-organisms, their genes and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Australia is one of the most diverse countries on the planet. It is home to more than one million species of plants and animals, many of which are found nowhere else in the world.
Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research (CPBR) and Australian National Herbarium
The Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research and the Australian National Herbarium website contains information about the Australian flora, Australian plants, botanical research and access to databases on living plants, herbarium specimens and photographs.
