Rather takes your breath away, doesn't it, knowing that someone is actually attempting to create a single database listing every living species of life on the planet.So far the project, which started in 2000, has catalogued 1,008,965 species -- and it is estimated that number is only about half. Wow!
More on the project will be found here.
The illustration is by famed naturalist Charles Harper.
