Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, Aug 2023 Catalogue of Life (COL) brings together the efforts and contributions of taxonomists from around the world, and addresses the needs of researchers, policy-makers, environmental managers and the wider public for a consistent, up-to-date and authoritative listing of all the world’s known species. The names that science gives to species are fundamental tools that allow us to refer to these units of biodiversity.
