Scientists estimate that there may be up to 1.9 billion species alive today, recognizing that most of these species, particularly microorganisms, remain undiscovered. The current count of described species is about 1.5 million, with many more expected to be found. Estimates of the total number of species range significantly, highlighting the challenge in cataloging biodiversity.
