Why it matters

The museum plays a direct role in biodiversity science - its researchers help identify and classify species, track ecosystem change, and inform conservation policy. The collections serve as a long-term record of life on Earth, enabling scientists to measure the impact of climate change and habitat loss over centuries. The museum also publishes biodiversity data openly, supporting global conservation efforts.

As a public institution, it works to build scientific literacy around nature and climate, reaching audiences through exhibitions, education programmes, and digital resources. Staff and researchers work across ecology, geology, and environmental science - making it a relevant employer for those pursuing careers at the intersection of science and sustainability.
