Any strategy for malestarikan diversity requires an estimate of how many species there are, and how its distribution. Currently already 1.5 million species have been described or identified by science. At least there are two times of the number of those who have yet to be described, especially insects and arthropod Tropics (Figure 1.2; May 1992). Our knowledge of the number of species is inaccurate, because, a number of species that are less noted in taxonomy. For example, spiders, nematodes, and fungi that live in soil and insects that live in the canopy of tropical forest that has small body size and difficult to study. This unknown group can amount to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of species. Although in cool climates of certain groups of organisms such as birds, mammals dau of flowering plants is relatively well known, a new species of this group are still discovered every year, although in the least amount of (Donoghue and Alverson 2000). Since 1991, six new species of primates in BrazilFigure 1.2. (A) around the 1,413,000 species have been identified and described by scientists; mostly in the form of insects and plants (Data from Wilson 1992). (B) of the main groups of organisms that supposedly has more than 100,000the species, the number of species that have been described (known ilrnu knowledge) is characterized by dark-colored bar graph. The stems are not tinged shows the alleged number of unknown species (vertebrates are included for comparison). The column on the right shows the level of accuracy of the forecasts. The number of species is unknown is simply a rough estimate for a variety of microorganisms. Thus, the number of species that will be terdeskripsikan on the end can reach 5-10 million or even 30-50 million (Hammond 1992).
