We’re facing a nature crisis, but there’s hope
Packed with contemporary science from our world-leading researchers, our new gallery explores practical, nature-based solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing the planet today.
It delves into topics such as the food we eat, the energy we consume, the stuff we use and the impact of all of this on our health. We’ve brought together a special selection of more than 200 specimens, from a Sumatran rhino to an ancient cow skull. Together they tell the story of our impact on the natural world and explore the opportunities we have to save it.
Hear from our scientists as well as leading environmentalists and young changemakers from around the world. Plus, discover all the ways we, both as individuals and communities, can make a difference. You’ll also get to have your say with our interactive conversation starter.
There’s a whole host of amazing things to discover, whether it’s what whale ear wax tells us about ocean pollution, how fungi-based fertilisers support food production or how European bison are helping us to store more carbon. Plus, if you’ve ever wondered about the carbon footprint of your pet or what local lichen can tell you about air pollution in your area, we’ve got the answers to that too!
