- The mission - to describe and document the diversity of life Inventory the Earth’s species Document their relationships “ Publish” these data
- Problems with the current model Bias in what we are work on - taxonomy is parochial, requires specialists
- NHM Struggled to find someone describing a new species for DC2.
