Species 200
In 2015, the Swiss Society of Systematic celebrates 200 years of biodiversity research, by presenting, on a poster, 200 animal and plant species described during the last two centuries by researchers based in Switzerland. We hope that this poster, designed for students, researchers, natural science enthusiasts and also the general public, will make known the importance of the description of new species and highlight the dynamism of Switzerland in this field of research.
The poster is in German, French or Italian.
Printed size is A0 and it can be picked up in several localities, from members of the SSS board:

This poster was officially sent to the President of the ScNat, along with a letter in which we expressed our concern about the decreasing support of the Academy toward fieldworks, and in particular the situation of the de Giacomi Grant.
