The Encyclopedia of Life, No Bookshelf Required by Carl Zimmer, New York Times, February 26, 2008. "On Thursday its authors, an international team of scientists, will introduce the first 30,000 pages, and within a decade, they predict, they will have the other 1.77 million." The Encyclopedia of Life is an effort to document all species of life on Earth. The project is funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. You can hear E.O. Wilson talk about the Encyclopedia of Life project at the March 2007 TED Conference (22:35 minutes).
