Make a difference to our natural world
- Climate change
- Habitat loss
- Water shortages
- Introduced pests
Our natural world is under threat and rapidly disappearing. Australia has experienced the highest loss of mammal species in the world and several species of frog have recently become extinct.
Australian Museum scientists are contributing to research on the environmental impacts of climate change. How? By using an irreplaceable tool – the Museum’s collections. The Museum is the guardian of Australia’s most important invertebrate and vertebrate animal, mineral, fossil and anthropological collection. This priceless asset is vital to the success of the scientists’ work and their collaborations with researchers internationally.
Your help will make a difference and ensure the Australian Museum can continue to inspire people to explore questions of nature and culture.
Past support has enabled the Museum to create research fellowships; purchase scientific research equipment; offer education programs to regional students; and link Indigenous and Pacific communities to their collections held at the Museum and enrich knowledge of their heritage.
