The site, in 2008

A UK charity's online library of films, photographs and sound recordings of the world's threatened species.

Launched by Sir David Attenborough in 2003, with Hewlett-Packard building the technology. It aimed to profile all 17,000 or so species on the IUCN Red List. It closed in 2019 for lack of funds; over 100,000 files went offline.

In 2008: Google Earth layers on endangered species, made with Google Earth Outreach, were launched in April by Attenborough.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
