1. Nature's Scale
Aristotle believes that everything in the natural world can be divided into two main categories: non "living things" and "non-living things". Aristotle divides living things into two categories: "plants" and "creatures". "Creatures" can be divided into two subcategories: "animals" and "humans".
2. Natural Sciences
Just like Aristotle classifies everything into different categores, which he names "nature's scale", natural sciences also has its own classification. "Taxonomy is the science of identifying and naming species and organising them into systems of classification." (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/science-of-natural-history/taxonomy-systematics/index.html)However taxonomy has different categories than Aristotle's nature's scale. The categories in taxonomy include: kingdomm, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
3. "Global Taxonomy Initiative"
"Effective conservation and management of biodiversity depends in large part on our understanding of taxonomy. Unfortunately, inadequate taxonomic information and infrastructure, coupled with declining taxonomic expertise, hinders our ability to make informed decisions about conservation, sustainable use and sharing of the benefits derived from genetic resources."(http://www.cbd.int/gti/)
Toxonomy plays a big role in making important decicions when it comes to conservation among other things. This is why it is important to have a good knowledge about this classification
