Our Plans<\/h4>\n

iBOL is working to establish an earth observation system that will reveal species, their dynamics, and interactions.<\/p>\n

We are tracking ecosystems across the planet<\/strong> and exploring\u00a0symbiomes<\/strong> \u2013 the distinct fungal, plant, and animal species associated with host organisms. We aim to complete this research and establish baseline data for science and society’s benefit before the middle of this century. We aim to accomplish our mission through three major scientific initiatives:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet this biodiversity remains hidden from us. After centuries of discovering, and naming living things, we have only shed light on a small portion; fewer than two million species have been formally described but many more await discovery.\r\n\r\nWhat would it be like to live in a world where we could know, in minutes, the name of any of the millions of species we share this planet with? And not just their names but everything about them \u2013 what are their habits, are they endangered, dangerous, or invasive?\r\n\r\nHow could we use that knowledge to promote human health and well-being? How could it enable us to know, manage, and protect biodiversity on a planetary scale?\r\n\r\nThe international research community is addressing these challenges through the use of a new approach which employs sequence variation in short gene regions, DNA barcodes<\/strong><\/a>, to probe species diversity.
