In the year of the 250th anniversary of Sytema Naturae, our goal ought to be
to get all our publishers together to agree to release all the descriptions,
if not all the publications including descriptions with a creative commons
licence. The loss of species is fundamental to our welfare, and thus at
equally important as our genes.
