This database has been in use for about a decade, and is now being revised to make use of improvements in software over that period. The updating is being done in a modular way, as funds and human resources allow. Therefore, the format of some modules will be different from others until the process is complete. Although a great deal of checking has been done while migrating data to the new system, some errors will remain; please advise cwensink@ukotcf.org.

For each of the following modules of the database, the menu items above and the headings below link to pages enabling structured searches by appropriate categories or words. NB - The Information Database is quite separate from the website Search facility (accessed from LH menu), which is directed to searching the contents of all the other 'main' pages on this site - eg Territories, Publications etc. - and excludes the Information Database. Structured search facilities, accessed via one of the links below, are provided for documents in the Information Database. The main site pages are not included in the these searches.

Environmental Education Resources       >>

Information on environmental education resources which may be suitable (or easily adaptable) for use in a particular UK Overseas Territory or Crown Dependency, thereby reducing development costs and “re-inventing of the wheel”.

Sites and Topics        >>

Contains information on the location, features, status, threats and conservation management of areas of land and water ("Sites"). Various forms of searching are also easy, such as finding entries ("Events") from any site relating to the above subjects or a range of others.

Projects: Specific Conservation Priorities        >>

Allows the tracking of projects designed to address some of the conservation priorities in individual Territories and across Territories. This may be of use at various stages, for example:

• planning and seeking partners or resources for a project;
• reporting on progress for a current project;
• pointing to the results of a project for wider application.

General Information     >>

Provides basic information and sources of further advice on a range of topics (not covered in the other modules) of interest to those concerned with conservation in the UK Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies (and often relevant elsewhere too).

Conservation Priorities    >>

Summarises priorities identified with the full involvement of conservation bodies in each UK Overseas Territory, originally in 1994-5 and updated by some of the Territories on various occasions since. UKOTCF will assist with further updates.

Funding Sources

Contains basic information and directions to further information on potential funding sources which have shown an interest in supporting work in UK Overseas Territories. (This module is unavailable at present, as it needs updating; meanwhile JNCC have indicated that their website covers this function.)
