Linnean Society of London

The Linnean Society of London, established in 1788, is one of the world's oldest biological societies. It focuses on the study of natural history, including botany and zoology. Named after the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, who developed the system for naming and classifying living organisms, the society promotes scientific research and discussion. It hosts lectures, publishes research, and supports conservation efforts. The society has played a significant role in the development of biological sciences and continues to be a hub for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the diversity of life on Earth.
