![Page 1: Consortium for the Barcode of Life Promoting a standardized global system for identifying species 170+ Member organizations, 50+ countries 35+ Member organizations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ef55503460f94c08457/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Consortium for the Barcode of LifePromoting a standardized global system for
identifying species
• 170+ Member organizations, 50+ countries
• 35+ Member organizations from 25+ developing countries
• Characterized 500,000 specimens from 50,000 species

Species Identification Matters
• Basic research on evolution, ecology• Endangered/protected species • Agricultural pests/beneficial species• Disease vectors/pathogens• Invasive species (e.g.,in ballast water)• Environmental quality indicators• Managing for sustainable harvesting• Consumer protection, ensuring food quality• Fidelity of seedbanks, culture collections

Adoption by Regulators• Food and Drug Administration
– Reference barcodes for commercial fish
• NOAA/NMFS– $100K for Gulf of Maine pilot project– FISH-BOL workshop with agencies, Taipei, Sept 2007
• Federal Aviation Administration – $500K for birds• Environmental Protection Agency
– $250K pilot test, water quality bioassessment
• FAO International Plant Protection Commission– Proposal for Diagnostic Protocols for fruit flies
• CITES, National Agencies, Conservation NGOs– International Steering Committee, identifying pilot projects
