Linnaean Society

The Linnaean Society is a learned organization dedicated to the study and understanding of natural history, especially plants and animals. Named after Carl Linnaeus, who developed a system for naming and classifying living organisms, the society promotes scientific research, exploration, and education in biology. Founded in 1788, it provides a platform for scientists and enthusiasts to share discoveries, publish findings, and support conservation efforts. Essentially, it fosters collaboration and debate on how living things are grouped and understood, advancing our knowledge of the natural world.
