The Lewis & Clark Wildlife-Habitat Discovery section of International Biodiversity Information System (IBIS) is an interactive mapping application featuring historic and current depictions of the northwest section of the Lewis and Clark Trail, with emphasis on wildlife and their habitats. This application combines Lewis and Clark diary excerpts, IBIS data, and other ancillary data to compare the habitats and fish and wildlife species observed by Lewis and Clark with those present today. The target audience of this application is K-12 students and anyone with an interest in Lewis and Clark's historic transcontinental expedition.

The Western Soundscape Archive is a searchable web-based audio archive with a focus on the natural sounds of the western United States. Housed at the University of Utah's J. Willard Marriott Library, the recordings include representative sounds of more than 90% of the West's bird species, all of the region's frogs and toads, and more than 100 different types of mammals and reptiles, as well as ambient soundscapes and interviews.
The NBII Program is administered by the Biological Informatics Program of the U.S. Geological Survey
