In addition to one or more common names, every internationally recognised species has a unique scientific name. It consists of two names, usually Latin or Greek words, that are always italicised (or underlined if the name is written by hand). The first name is the genus (generic name), and begins with a capital letter; the second is the species (specific name), and is written in lower-case.

Monitoring your project throughout each stage will help you to best respond to changes that occur along the way and have a lasting impact. It is helpful to set out indicators or measures of success to make sure you stay on track. The more specific your indicator, the easier it will be to achieve your achievements.
