The portal of PESI (Pan-European Species directories Infrastructure) has been launched: www.eu-nomen.eu/portal and is available in 21 European languages. With time, it will be possible to find and search through the information of all species appearing in Europe. Not only of all terrestrial and aquatic species, but also the species living in seas and oceans. Currently, there are already nearly half a million scientific and non-scientific names in 89 languages for over 210,000 species and over 6 million distribution records.
