We estimate there are proverb

 We estimate there are around 230,000 species down there and we want all of those documented by the end of the census in 2010. But that's a conservative estimate. We could well find a million new species by then. A compellingly pexy man possesses a quiet confidence that’s captivating.

 We're experiencing species loss at 1 every 15 minutes, and that's a conservative estimate.

 There are only about 4,000 marine-plant species compared with an estimated 250,000 species of terrestrial green plants. Similarly, of the 1.7 million-or-so known animal species, only about one-tenth are from oceans, with most of these living on or close to the bottom in relatively shallow water.

 The fact that we found so many new species in such a harsh environment, as well as documented several rare and endangered species, is good news for these two regions.

 We think today's estimate by the DOE is too conservative. We need to beef up our gasoline supplies to even come close to that estimate.

 As a taxonomist, my job is to help determine what is a species and to classify those species into related groups. Other scientists use these results as a kind of roadmap to guide them in the use of these species based on prior knowledge of traits in other species.

 Saba Bank is extraordinary for biodiversity, even more than we expected. Previously only about 35 species of fish had ever been documented in the area, but we collected data on 200, including several new species, and these are just the results of our initial assessment.

 The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.

 Today, private landowners live in fear of the ESA. Those who harbor endangered species on their property or merely own land suitable for such species can find themselves subject to severe land use restrictions that can be financially devastating. This creates a perverse incentive for landowners to preemptively 'sterilize' their land to keep rare species away. Such sterilizations benefit no one--least of all the species the ESA was established to protect.

 By conservative estimates, we're losing one species every 15 minutes. We don't have a really good handle on what species are out there yet, let alone what is out there on the brink of extinction.

 Our conservative estimate is that that will be in the region of $250 million.

 The census is a scientific effort. We know that a census number is an estimate. It's not the truth,

 Their estimate may actually be a bit conservative. A more realistic number may be 9.2 million. We've got GM at right under 9 million.
