''The Catalogue of Life is the most comprehensive and authoritative global index of species currently available. It consists of a single integrated species checklist and taxonomic hierarchy. The Catalogue holds essential information on the names, relationships and distributions of over 1.6 million species. This figure continues to rise as information is compiled from diverse sources around the world.''
 
 
''The loss and degradation of global biodiversity are vital concerns for humanity. There is currently no single, universal and complete reference to what species we think are alive today. Without this we can not sustainably use, explore, monitor, manage and protect biodiversity resources.''
 
 
''The Catalogue of Life is used to support the major biodiversity and conservation information services such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), Encyclopedia of Life (EoL) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. It is recognised by the Convention on Biological Diversity as a significant component of the Global Taxonomy Initiative and a contribution to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation.''
 
 
''The Catalogue of Life is widely used by organisations and individuals worldwide: Research scientists, policy and decision makers, citizen scientists and other global biodiversity programmes use it to:
 
''
 
''Check the scientifically accepted name, spelling, alternative names and distribution of a species
 
Find the place of an organism in a consistent and integrated taxonomic hierarchy
 
Compile checklists of species in a particular area or taxonomic group using downloads
 
Download an electronic list for use in systems and portals
 
Provide an electronic taxonomic backbone for indexing and compiling other information
 
Carry out biodiversity analyses''.

Catalogue of Life (en español: Catálogo de la Vida), es un catálogo exhaustivo de todas las especies de organismos conocidos en la Tierra. Comenzó en junio de 2001 como una iniciativa de Species 2000 y el Sistema Integrado de Información Taxonómica (ITIS) y está previsto que sirva como una base de datos taxonómicos. Menos de diez años después de su lanzamiento, en 2009, más de 3000 especialistas de todo el mundo habían elaborado o revisado la base de datos.1 El catálogo compila datos de 158 bases de datos taxonómicos revisados ​​por pares, mantenidos a su vez por instituciones especializadas de todo el mundo.2 Ofrece dos tipos de publicaciones: una «lista anual verificada» que proporciona referencias sobre fechas, nombres y datos asociados al contenido y otra de edición dinámica que se actualiza periódicamente.La decimosexta edición del catálogo, de abril de 2016, contiene información sobre 1,64 millones de especies de todos los reinos, lo que significa que en el catálogo están clasificados más del 85% de las aproximadamente 1,9 millones de especies conocidas por la ciencia. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalogue_of_Life
