More than free downloadable 1000 pages of forestry and botanical information about uses, products, approriate farming systems, marketing, silviculture, ecology, distribution and taxonomy.

EARD-Infosys+ - Information system of the European Initiative for Agricultural Research for Development, a decentralised European information and communication system based on the Internet. It provides information on research for development with special focus on the European landscape.

ETFRN - Established in 1991, the European Tropical Forest Research Network (ETFRN) is a forum for communication between European organisations, researchers, EU institutions and others concerned with (sub-)tropical forest research. The ETFRN Network seeks to promote the involvement of European research expertise towards the conservation and wise use of forests and woodlands in tropical and subtropical countries.

Flora Mesoamericana - The Flora Mesoamericana is a collaborative effort of the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Instituto de Biología of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Natural History Museum, London, and numerous specialists world-wide. In Spanish, the Flora describes, for the first time, all the vascular plants growing in the southeasternmost states of Mexico (including the Yucatán Peninsula) and all the Central American republics.

INBio website - The Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBio) is a scientific institution with social orientation. It is non-profit and for the public good. Its mission is to promote a new awareness of the value of biodiversity, and thereby achieve its conservation and use to improve the quality of life. INBio generates knowledge about biodiversity.

On the RBCMA, PfB conducts research, conservation education, professional training and promotes environmental awareness among visitors.

The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute - With headquarters in the Republic of Panama, STRI is a bureau of the Smithsonian Institution, and one of the world's leading centers for basic research on the ecology, behavior and evolution of tropical organisms. STRI's international staff of more than 30 scientists conducts investigations throughout the New and Old World tropics. Scientists from around the world come to STRI to join the search for knowledge in fields that include animal behavior, plant ecology, canopy biology, paleoecology, archaeology, evolution, genetics, marine ecology, anthropology, and conservation science.

Amazonian Website forum - To join forum set up by Luca De Filicaia of MLAL now running on sustainable development, biodiversity, ecology, agroforestry, agroextractivism, agroindustrialization and forest certification in the Amazonian context.
