These databases are specific to scientific research and the field of fisheries, wildlife and conservation sciences. This makes them more efficient to search for this project.
Birds of the World is a research database that brings together scholarly content from four major works of ornithology [Birds of North America, The Handbook of Birds of the World, Neotropical Birds, and Bird Families of the World], millions of bird observations from eBird, and multimedia content from the Macaulay Library into a single platform where biologists and birders can explore comprehensive life history information on birds. Birds of the World presents a vast array of information about every species, subspecies, and family of the world's birds. Accounts include images, sounds, and videos as well as illustrations, maps, animations, and authoritative text from all of the component projects.
These databases feature a wider range of topics and are useful for general searching.
In addition to the biological information, you will need to find economic and statistical information, and even political and social commentary for the case study.
