Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) needs to build its membership. Resources that could help with TDWG’s outreach efforts have been placed on the web site http://www.tdwg.org/about-tdwg/. Among those resources are PowerPoint® presentations, brochures and a poster. All these resources provide a relatively simple introduction to TDWG and its work, and are designed for members to use at meetings related to TDWG’s domain.

The brochures and the poster are in Adobe® PDF format. The brochures are designed to be printed in a tri-fold format on A4 paper. The poster is designed to print on A1 paper (594mm wide × 841mm high). Like the other resources, the poster is simple in design; portraying TDWG products as the centre of a complex network of biologically-related projects and their dependency on sharing data. The aim of the poster is to portray TDWG as the international ‘enabler’ for the sharing of biological data.

We encourage members and friends to use these resources wherever possible.
