More than 300 scientists work at the Museum to tackle a diverse range of global problems, such as threats to the Earth's biodiversity, the maintenance of delicate ecosystems, environmental pollution and disease.
At the heart of our research is the naming and classification of organisms and natural objects and the study of their inter-relationships. Our collections of plant, animal, fossil, rock and mineral specimens are vital to this research and are growing constantly.
