BendiNewsTest: Scientists create the most comprehensive digital Tree of Life ever to map life on Earth

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Scientists create the most comprehensive digital Tree of Life ever to map life on Earth

Scientists from across the world have gathered together to create the first ever, incredibly comprehensive, digital map of all known life. Called the Tree of Life, it shows how 2.3 million species of animals, plants, fungi, and microbes branched off over the years from a common ancestor. Researchers from 11 organizations worked together to create the genetic map of all life on Earth, traced over 3.5 billion years of shared history, and it is open to all to use.
