'''Taxonomy anarchy hampers conservation''' discusses the challenges and implications of inconsistent species classification in conservation efforts.

== Summary ==

* '''Taxonomy Chaos''': The lack of a standardised approach to defining species leads to arbitrary classifications, affecting conservation policies and funding.
* '''Conservation Impact''': Inconsistent taxonomy can skew conservation priorities and legal protections for species, potentially harming biodiversity efforts.
* '''Proposed Solution''': The authors suggest that the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS) should oversee taxonomy to ensure consistent species definitions.
* '''Global Species Lists''': Standardised global species lists, reviewed for compliance with agreed standards, could improve conservation strategies and scientific credibility.
