Susanne--
An example of data being put at risk due to sudden termination of
funding is the National Biological Information Infrastructure program
of the U.S. Geological Survey, which was shut down in 2012:
http://www.usgs.gov/faq/categories/10130/3767
The NBII held the data associated with the Millennium Ecosystem
Assessment, a major international assessment of the state of the
world's ecosystem conducted in 2001-2005. These data have been
recently rescued by my center, but due to the poor documentation of
the data at the time of the assessment, we chose to limit our
investment in improving the documentation and data. This case is
documented in a paper prepared by Bob Downs and me, that will appear
in a two-volume monograph on Curating Research Data, currently being
edited by Lisa Johnston of the University of Minnesota and to be
published by the Association of College & Research Libraries. I
believe there will be other examples of data rescue and curation in
the monographs.
I'm not aware if any other NBII data were lost or rescued after it
closed.
The MA data are available here:

The ACS do not provide the usual RightsLink facility on their open access article pages. Therefore we are unsure whether we require permission to re-use the figure, and if we do, how we go about obtaining it.
