EXPLORATOR - Crowdsourcing platform

EXPLORATOR is a citizen science project of the Herbarium of the University of Coimbra to digitise the collection. By contributing to its digitisation, it is facilitating the investigation of botanists worldwide.

The Herbarium joined the global effort to accelerate the study of plant diversity. Experts need quick access to the 392,353,689 specimens that exist in herbaria around the world and all the information they contain. This quick access helps research and knowledge about plants to advance, being possible to find timely solutions to problems that affect ecosystems.
