Zur schnelleren Verständigung wurden besonders in technischen Bereichen längere Bezeichnungen verkürzt. Entstandene Akronyme nutzten die Anfangsbuchstaben der einzelnen Wörter anstatt der ersten Buchstaben der Gesamtbezeichnung. Gerade im Bereich der Forschung zu den Themen Umwelt, Naturschutz- und Biodiversität werden wir mit einer verwirrend großen Zahl von Akronymen konfrontiert. Diese umfassen sowohl technische Begriffe, Instituts- und Projektnamen, als auch Bezeichnungen für Gremien, Verbände, Netzwerke, Organisationen und Initiativen. Als Hilfestellung haben wir eine aus circa 3.000 Einträgen bestehende Akronym-Datenbank zusammengestellt.
Die Akronym-Datenbank ist zur Zeit noch in Entwicklung.
