With the database we intend to organize and mantain the information collected from several field trips on a digital support. This brings a tremendous advantage on the flexibility, speed and easyness of accessing the information.

In a time when we witness the consolidation of Internet as a privileged mean of obtaining information on every possible subject, we intend, by making the information of the database available online, to contribute with a useful resource to all those who are interested in this area of knowledge.
