    This is the intent of the http://www.all-species.org/ ALL Species Foundation.

    Their mission is to "The ALL Species Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the complete inventory of all species of life on Earth within the next 25 years - a human generation."

    A Wired article http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,50942, 00.html/ about them has some interesting information.

    Since new species are always being generated and old ones going extinct continuously, this organization will NEVER be able to fullfil their charter.

    Here's the official announcement:

    My hope for ALL Species in the coming few years is simple. Right now the climate for philanthropy could not be worse, but in a few years it could be better, if not wonderful. I am hoping that the Science Board can help to prepare us for that day when funding opportunities return.

    The All Species Foundation website has a nice FAQ which answered some of the obvious questions which popped into my mind, like "How do you know when you're done?".

    This is the All Species Foundation, Kevin Kelly's latest brainchild.

    Kevin Kelly basically figured out how to give away a billion dollars.
