Darwin Initiative
Darwin Initiative projects on Google Earth
February 12th, 2009
The Darwin Initiative maintains a database of geographic locations associated with Darwin projects. Individual projects can submit location data which are displayed on Google maps on the project details page (projects - go to the 'Submit project locations' tool at the bottom of your project details page). Today these data have been made available in a Google Earth download.
The file presents location data for all Darwin projects, and also includes a track showing the route sailed by Darwin in 1831 - 1836 on board the Beagle. It illustrates the global reach of the Darwin Initiative and the global scale of Darwin's five year voyage.
