North-West African Grasshoppers
The online knowledge base "West African Caelifera" is for anyone interested in this insect group or the region in question. Mainly professionals working in species and natural habitat conservation, people in charge of locust control who are concerned about preserving non-target wildlife, and entomology and ecology students who do not necessarily have easy access to collections in national Muséums.

Database of campaigns and their station
The BasExp database brings together information about the French National Muséum of Natural History’s expeditions. It aims to provide a single entry point for all of the Muséum’s campaigns and expeditions. By standardising collected information in an institutional database as close as possible to the front line, it facilitates the entry of specimens into the collection, and thereby improves monitoring and traceability.
Although some of the data is reserved for researchers with an account, the general public can access most of the information about the Muséum’s campaigns.
