WhatsAppThe National Natural History Collections are an archive of biodiversity. The items are collected in nature, sorted, identified, and in the case of new species to science, they are named. At the end of the identification process they are preserved and become part of the national and international infrastructure of scientific research. This on-going, continuous documentation is essential for understanding processes in nature, for monitoring changes in ecosystems, for strengthening research on evolution and for conserving nature and the environment.
