HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
During the 18th century, the Swedish naturalist
Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) was to inspire 17 of his scholars -
the chosen few who came to be known as the LINNAEUS
APOSTLES - to travel to distant corners of the world to
document local nature and culture.
They travelled on their own or with expeditions across land
and sea - their travels covered every continent
;)
