Description
Species 2000 has the objective of enumerating all known species of organisms on Earth (animals, plants, fungi and microbes) as the baseline dataset for studies of global biodiversity. more

The goal of Species 2000 is to provide a uniform and validated quality index of names of all known species for use as a practical tool. The index will be used to provide:
  1. an electronic baseline species list for use in inventorying projects worldwide;
  2. the index for an Internet gateway to species databases worldwide;
  3. a reference system for comparison between inventories;
  4. a comprehensive worldwide catalogue for checking the status, classification and naming of species
