In some cases there were requirements for language skills and experience in a particular country. We realised there was a need for an international database that could be searched by specialisation, language skills and countries that the person had worked in. The original concept was developed by Phil with technical assistance from Andy Carpenter and Andrew Ford and was hosted by the Natural History Book Service server. Together we are developing the 3E Database so that it meets the needs of its members and those who need to find environmental experts. The prime aim of the 3E database is to improve the quality of environmental studies by helping people locate a suitable expert.
Profit is a secondary motive, which explains the low annual subscription.
The Directors of Earth's Environmental Experts Ltd are Dr Phil Smith and Pete Twitchett. Any enquiries regarding the database should be sent to Phil Smith at the above address. Please note that the phrase 3E is only intended as an abbreviation for Earth's Environmental Experts.
