Undiscovered Species

It all began with a simple question. Are we within reach of finding all of the species on Earth or are we way off? 250 years ago, a Swedish botonist created a formal system to help us classify the diversity of nature. And since then, 1. 2 million different species have been discovered and formally classified. But how much more do we have to go? Because what's been discovered so far are things that are easy to find, things that are relatively large or clearly visible. and all of them will fall under one of the five kingdoms. Animals, plants, fungi, chromis, or single-sellled organisms. But it seems like the age of true discovery is still ahead of us with the current estimation being that 86% of all of the species that exist on Earth right now have yet to be formally discovered. work.
