Mission
& vision
Mission
The
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature is dedicated
to achieving stability and sense in the scientific naming of
animals.
Vision
The
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), acting
in the capacity of adviser and arbiter, assists the zoological
community through generation and dissemination of information
on the correct use of the scientific names of animals.
This
includes the publication of the International Code of Zoological
Nomenclature and the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature containing
applications to, and rulings by, the Commission.
ICZN
will distribute this information as widely as possible, working
towards the provision of a free service.
