The national annual species checklist has been compiled and released since 2008 by the participants of Species 2000 China Node, together with more than 100 domestic and overseas taxonomists. It follows the data standard of the Standard Dataset of the Species 2000, and provides the Catalogue of Life China to all users in the world.
Users are encouraged to provide feedback to the Secretariat of Species 2000 China Node. Enquires about this CD-ROM, the databases or Species 2000 China Node should also be directed to:
