The Memorandum of Understanding between the REC and IUCN provides a solid basis for unifying special expertise and managerial skills. The problems of conserving biological and landscape diversity are dealt with by a wide range of governmental, non-governmental and other international organizations. Parallel efforts and unnecessary competition between the different programs are not unusual. The project is aimed to establish and maintain an Internet Home Page for the REC Biodiversity Programs. It is also intended to assure the continuous and mutual information flow between the similar information resources, like the ones run by IUCN, the Green Spider, the Strawberry Net, etc.
Different organizations do approach the question from different angles.
Accordingly, the information services run by different organizations can give an insight into their respective aspects only.
