National Biological Information Infrastructure Digital Image Library

The mission of the NBII digital image library is to develop, grow and provide a digital library of biological, photographic images offering a rich, Web-based resource of high quality images dynamically linked to associated metadata accessible and available to scientists, conservationists, decision makers, educators, students and the general public worldwide. NBII will make available on-line images from it's own collections and from NBII partners, regardless of copyright, but we envision most images being in the public domain. Here you will find a diverse range of images related to nature and the environment. Our current and future collections contain images associated with plant and animal species, scenic landscapes, wildlife management, and biological study/fieldwork. You may browse our broad subject categories or search for specific images using the search feature. Each image's metadata record contains valuable information about the image, i.e. scientific name, description, location, etc.
