World’s unknown species ‘can be named’ before they go extinct
By Melissa Hogenboom BBC News
Most of the world's plant and animal species could be named
before they go extinct, say researchers.Writing in the journal Science, the
researchers said it could be achieved this century.This is largely a result of
an increase in taxonomists - the people who describe species new to science.The
scientists acknowledge that although there is an extinction crisis, they say
the rates are lower than previously thought.Discovering and naming the world's
species is critical for their conservation and can be done with only a modest
increase in effort, the researchers stated.But they also recognised it will be
difficult to maintain a high rate of discovery as it becomes harder to find
rare species.Previous overestimates of the number of species - some as high as
100 million, led some in the scientific community to believe that it would be
impossible to name all the world's species before they go extinct.
