About us

IdentifyLife is a global collaborative initiative dedicated to the accurate identification and cataloging of the world’s living organisms. Our mission is to connect researchers, educators, students, and citizen scientists with curated identification tools, taxonomic resources, and standardized descriptive data across all domains of life.

We aim to make biological identification more accessible, reproducible, and scientifically robust by integrating traditional morphological keys with modern molecular methods such as DNA barcoding, metabarcoding, and multi-omics approaches. IdentifyLife also leverages advanced computational tools, including AI-based image recognition and phylogenetic visualization, to support rapid, accurate, and scalable organism identification.

Our platform provides access to trusted databases like the Catalogue of Life, GBIF Species Backbone, and the IUCN Red List, ensuring that users can explore biodiversity in a standardized and internationally recognized framework. 

By bridging classical taxonomy, modern molecular techniques, and open-access digital resources.

IdentifyLife fosters global collaboration in biodiversity research, conservation, and education.

To empower a worldwide community of scientists, educators, and nature enthusiasts to explore, understand, and conserve the diversity of life on Earth.
