Lichenologist Trevor Goward: Statement on the Close on the New Species Conservation Auction

As a taxonomist, I'm also delighted if my work can in some way help to preserve critical habitats for the organisms I study. As this is a first trial run of taxonomic tithing in Canada, I accept that it will take time for Canadians really to get behind this new method of conservation fund raising.

New Species Conservation Auction – Name That Lichen!

Your name would be enshrined as a legacy that could endure as long as our civilization lasts!

Having your name - or that of a loved one, your favourite celebrity, role model, hero, sports team - linked to a living species is a legacy that lasts a long time. It has been almost three centuries since the modern system of biological classification was developed by Carolus Linnaeus; and even now the names of people after whom he christened various plants and animals are still with us.
