FYI- ARKive is looking to compile audio-visual records for the 16,300-plus animal, plants and fungi currently threatened with extinction, according to the IUCN Red List. Preserved and maintained for future generations, ARKive is making this key resource accessible to all, from scientists and conservationists to the general public and school children, via its award-winning website -
ARKive: ARKive - A unique collection of thousands of videos, images and fact-files illustrating the world's species
Goals and objectives
ARKive has achieved significant success in the five years since its launch, with numerous awards and accolades, fantastic visitor rates from all round the world and an impressive line-up of international partners and strategic alliances. ARKive's short to mid-term priority is now the completion of audio-visual profiles for the 16,300-plus species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, before moving on to profiling all species that have ever been filmed or photographed.

It is ARKive's short-term aim to compile audio-visual records, where such media exists, for the 16,300-plus animals, plants and fungi currently threatened with extinction, according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
We are always delighted to hear from new media donors. If you have media for a threatened species that we have not yet covered, or can add to the collections already in ARKive, then please do let us know.

Mission
With species extinction now occurring at a faster rate than at any time in Earth's history, effective awareness raising and education programmes are ever more vital. Powerful wildlife imagery is an emotive and effective means of building environmental awareness and engagement, and quick and easy access to this imagery is essential in the digital mass communications society we live in today.
However, until now, this valuable imagery has been scattered throughout the world, in a wide variety of private, commercial and specialist collections, with no centralised collection, restricted public access, limited educational use, and no co-ordinated strategy for its long term preservation.
ARKive is now putting that right, gathering together the very best films and photographs of the world's species into one centralised digital library, to create a unique audio-visual record of life on Earth. Preserved and maintained for future generations, ARKive is making this key resource accessible to all, from scientists and conservationists to the general public and school children, via its award-winning website - ARKive - A unique collection of thousands of videos, images and fact-files illustrating the world's species
