BIOCATALOG - Cabo Verde species and cataloging project

The project focuses on cataloging species in Cabo Verde using preserved specimens from the animal and plant kingdoms housed in museums. The initiative aims to create a comprehensive digital database that documents the biodiversity of the archipelago, leveraging historical and contemporary collections. By analyzing morphological, genetic, and ecological data from these specimens, the project seeks to identify species, track changes in biodiversity over time, and support conservation efforts. This collaborative effort involves taxonomists, ecologists, and museum curators, and will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and educators working to preserve Cabo Verde's unique ecosystems.
