International Society for Biological Classification

The International Society for Biological Classification (ISBC) is a professional organization that promotes consistent and accurate naming and grouping of living organisms. It helps scientists around the world agree on how to classify species, ensuring communication about biodiversity is clear and standardized. By developing international codes and guidelines, the ISBC supports research, conservation, and understanding of the diversity of life on Earth. Its work facilitates collaboration across disciplines and countries, helping us better organize and protect the planet’s biological resources.
