REPORT on Spanish NATURAL HISTORY COLLECTIONS, PROJECTS AND BIODIVERSITY DATA BASES.

Version: February 2009

We present here a general report on the Spanish Hatural History Colections and Biodiversity Projects as well as a relation of the relevant Spanish Biodiversity Data Bases that do not belong to any colection.

Collections of livestock and agricultural races or varieties are not included. Palaeontological collections, with 22 centres in Spain - and about 40 collections - are not included in this report due to its particular nature.
