Information About

Linnaean Enterprise




As of 2006, the Linnaean enterprise is considered to be barely begun. There are estimated to be 10 million living species, but only about 1.5-1.8 million have been even named, and fewer than 1% of these have been studied enough to understand the basics of their ecological roles.

The cost of completing the Linnaean Enterprise has been estimated at US$ 5 billion.
