	IUCN News - Standardizing Biodiversity
		The Biodiversity Conservation Standards initiative of IUCN and the Conservation Commons, in partnership with OASIS, aims to streamline and significantly improve the way conservation data and information is created, integrated and disseminated by developing global interoperable biodiversity standards - harmonizing existing efforts and addressing the gaps that remain.
		Organized in conjunction with the Conservation Commons and drawing participation from conservation NGOs, the scientific community, along with government agencies and intergovernmental organizations, the meeting generated a groundbreaking exchange of views on this critically important, yet poorly understood, area of bioinformatics research in support of conservation.
		The Conservation Commons is a growing international cooperative effort of conservation organizations, research agencies, scientific institutions, and businesses committed to removing barriers in access to biodiversity data, more effectively connect practitioners to data and information assets, and develop and adopt standards for integrating these assets to support the generation of knowledge and best practice.

	What's in a name? A history of taxonomy - Natural History Museum
		Taxonomy's challenges for tomorrow relate to the two threads that construct its fabric--to name and identify species and to determine the relationships between them--with the aim of ultimately understanding how nature's wild, wonderful diversity is generated.
		Taxonomy's role is vital, because without taxonomists documenting the natural world, we no longer have the fabric that underpins not only biology, but also the science of conservation.
		Taxonomy is a science that keeps pace with the present but also draws upon the wealth of knowledge accumulated throughout its history.

	Conservation (botany) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conservation is possible only for names at the rank of family, genus or species.
		Conservation may be restricted to the spelling of a name: Euonymus (not Evonymus), Guaiacum (not Guajacum), Hieronyma (not Hyeronima or Hieronima), etc (see orthographical variant).
		Conservation may also concern the type of a name, thus fixing the application of that name to a taxon.

	CMP Taxonomies
		We have thus worked to create taxonomies of direct threats that conservationists encounter and of the conservation actions that they can take to counter these threats.
		A project team can scan these taxonomies and see if they recognize any threats that they may be overlooking in their analysis of the conditions at their site, or get any ideas for actions that they might take.
		A common taxonomy of conservation direct threats enables practitioners to search a database of conservation projects and find projects facing similar threats or using similar actions and (hopefully) to learn from their experiences.

		Large-scale conservation planning efforts at WWF and throughout the wider conservation community have identified priority areas - regions with particular biological importance - for conservation investment.

		To further assist WWF field staff and conservation partners, we've collected a set of resources and examples on many facets of landscape planning.

	Cetacea - classification - American Cetacean Society
		Taxonomy is the science of classification - it is an organized method of dividing plants and animals into groups.
		This form of "bookkeeping", known as taxonomy, was started by Swedish physician and naturalist, Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), in his work Systema Naturae, in 1735.
		Taxonomy however, remains a continuously contested science as new species are still being discovered and recent developments in the field of DNA (deoxyribonicleic acid) are challenging the old classification, based largely on anatomical similarities and evolutionary descent.

		Taxonomy provides basic understanding about the components of biodiversity which is necessary for effective decision-making about conservation and sustainable use.
		The Global Taxonomy Initiative was developed by governments, under the Convention on Biological Diversity, and is implemented by many actors including governments, non-government and international organizations, as well as taxonomists and the institutions where they work.
		Taxonomy is important for all types of ecosystems, and therefore the initiative is a cross-cutting issue applicable to all of the work under the Convention.

	LLU earth and biological sciences faculty: Hayes - Bahamian Birds
		We have good reason to be concerned about a number of Bahamian bird taxa. Because some live on just one or a few small islands, their populations are perilously small to begin with. Moreover, some may have diverged more from close relatives than currently recognized, and these may be distinct, previously-unrecognized species.
		A group of ornithologists, birdwatchers, and government and NGO conservation officials (including Birdlife International) had gathered at The Retreat, headquarters of the Bahamas National Trust, to discuss and plan priorities for conserving the best remaining bird habitats in the Bahamian archipelago.
		Conservation authorities confer highest priority to evolutionarily significant units (ESUs), which are, in essence, full species.

	Review of the great white shark (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The most significant problem in applying definitive conservation measures in favour of white sharks remains the lack of baseline data on basic parameters such as the fecundity, age and growth and population-numbers of the species.
		Current legislation concerning protection of this species is State legislature SB-144 (1997) which replaces the temporary AB-522 enacted in 1994 and includes a clause to outlaw all directed efforts at attracting white sharks either by use of baits, chum, or other methods.
		Unilateral or regional attempts to conserve great white sharks are laudable, as they may provide the encouragement for neighbours to adopt commensurate measures.
