Description: Looking at the "Brazilian forest reserves in a changing climate" news item the section DATA SOURCES on the right is a bit unclear to me. I would have expected that to be a link to GBIF datasets, in particular as it says "GBIF, Lista de Espécies da Flora do Brasil, Florescer. There is no brasilian flora dataset in GBIF though, so I assume this is some other external resource.

The given link in brackets should definitely just be a real hyperlink for the entire title or just the translated bit, but not shown explicitly]]>

Comment: In fact the second part in Portuguese refers to a different data source used for the study. So the intention is to say that the study used data occurrences from GBIF AND data from this Brazil-based list. To make it clearer I will alter the text to include a semicolon and a translation of the second source in brackets. Cip is aware that we would like these data sources to be hyperlinked but so far has not implemented that function in the template for featured data use stories.

Does drupal allow you to enter straight html anchors? Does that work?

It requires altering the content model to get this fixed, which includes:
1) Review how this field has been used so far and examine existing news items;
2) Create a field that is similar to "related GBIF resources";
3) Either involve @Maheva to clean it if it's not many or develop a script for migrating content to the new field.

This task will be scheduled.
