The Library has subscribed to 2 new indexes relevant to EVDS. Environment Index includes urban planning, law and policy and Garden, Landscape & Horticulture Index, despite its name, has relevant information on ecology and conservation.
Both databases should appear in the Libary's Research Databases list soon-ish, and I will rank them in the EVDS Research Databases Lists.
