The diversity of life on Earth is astounding, but shockingly many species have gone undescribed and unnamed. Scientists around the world work to describe the life that has inhabited our planet in the past, and the many new species inhabiting tropical rainforests, coral reefs, and the soil beneath our feet today.

But scientists cannot do so without your help and support! In partnership with scientists at universities around the world, we are offering the opportunity to have a newly discovered and described species named after you or a loved one, while supporting the important work of discovery.

If you choose to name a species, we pass on a share of the proceeds to the describing scientist and you will receive a certificate proving that the species has been named in your honor, information on that species, a signed letter of thanks from the researcher you have helped to support, and a copy of the scientific paper in which your species is described to the world for the very first time.
