Using Species 2000 Species Locator Go to Dynamic Checklist Go to Annual Checklist |
Species 2000 has the objective of enumerating all
known species of plants,
animals, fungi and microbes
on Earth as the baseline
dataset for studies of global
biodiversity. It will also
provide a simple access
point enabling users to link
from here to other data
systems for all groups of
organisms, using direct
species-links. Users worldwide will be able to verify the scientific name, status and classification of any known species via the Species Locator, which provides access to species checklist data drawn from an array of participating databases.
