Unfortunately it's true.
"In the President’s budget for Fiscal Year 2012, the National Biological
Information Infrastructure (NBII) was slated for termination. The year-long
continuing resolution for Fiscal Year 2011 just recently enacted by Congress
accelerates the
reductions in the President’s Fiscal Year 2012 budget by including a
$3.8 million decrease for the NBII. As a result, USGS has already begun the
termination of the NBII in Fiscal Year 2011 and will not provide
any further funding to existing partnerships, including BAMONA.
Regardless of the USGS support, my partner and I remain personally and
passionately committed to the continuation of the BAMONA project through other
avenues."

While perusing the TX-Butterflies listserve, I came across a post saying that
the President's new budget proposal had eliminated NBII, and therefore BAMONA,
funding. Maybe some of you with better connections to BAMONA could check on
that.
