The implication of not knowing exactly how many species there are is that we can't tell if we are actually making progress on the 2010 target.
What we can measure is how hard we are trying. Measures of effort may be a more useful indicator than estimated rates of species loss. For example, we can measure the number of new protected areas being established and ask if they have sufficient budgets.
