• Naturebase^® is this place on the web for nature- and environmental information. Naturebase^® is good for primarely pupils and teachers whom are interested in the world around and its continuous existence as we want to see our planet. Naturebase^®Guide is a collection of links to other information sources of mainly similar kinds of information.

• On November, 17, 1998, the Naturebase® project leader, Ulrich Jessen received the Environmental Price of 1998 from the Arch Episcopate of Uppsala from the hands of bishopTord Hallin in the prescence of the episcopate council and the arch bishop, Bo Hammar. The honourable prize was shared equal together with the teacher Christer Evaldsson, Broskolan for the Kayak Project and Marianne & Helge Berglund because of their environmentally sound farming methods.

Naturebase^® is a service for the educational systems in Sweden and for all of you on other parts of our fine planet.
The Naturebase project was started in the Ecologic Workshop in the school Broskolan in the community of Upplands-Bro, just 35 km North-West of Stockholm in Sweden.

Naturebase^® has now finished Step 2:2, and in the Naturebase^® project Step 2:2 (97-04-01 - 97-12-31) and to be more precise, we have made a presentation of the Mammals in Europe in pictures and a systematic presentation - all with the easy-to-use multimedia program HyperStudio, as the big multimedia bird presentation (NaturebaseFåglar 1.0) which we have done earlier. The mammal production also shows good hints for users to go further with adding more information with the Hyper Studio program, after having downloaded the CD-ROM-based mammals information on a hard disk

In the project start we had planned to produce a complete digital teaching/learning media to be used in different languages (incl. english) around the whole Baltic Sea sphere.
This project idea was confined by its own limitations due to the experiences we had made during the project work proceedings.

We came to the following standpoint: Most teching/learning aids are ready to use, and the user has mostly no possibilities to change the product according to the own taste or needs - in other words: there is very little true interactivity in most digital teaching/learning media on the market. And it is still the same situation, with very little exceptions.

Naturebase^® has been generously financed by grants from:

• Telia Läromediefonden.
• Stiftelsen för Kunskap och Kompetensutveckling.
• AB Landstingets Miljöfond.
• Skolverket.
• Upplands-Bro kommun.
