  • Who cares about natural history collections? = Koga volnujut estestvennonaučnije kollekcii?
    Kryštufek, Boris, 1954-
    During the unrest following the American led attack on Iraq in April 2003, the natural history collections at the Natural History Research Centre and Museum (NHRCM) in Baghdad was looted. This was ... part of much wider problem which is a damage to the heritage of numerous cultural, scientific and educational institutions throughout Iraq. Suppression of looting at the Iraqi National Museum in Baghdad and of the archaeological sites have been highly publicised "as a crusade to rescue antiquities", and accompanied by prompt emergency measures by the occupation authorities. But little care was given to collections at the NHRCM, which are still in disarray. Such a discrepancy in attitude towards cultural and natural history heritage has broader implications being characteristic of many developing countries. Natural history museums, the last repositories of a declining biodiversity, are faced with decay due to a shortage of personnel, decreasing economic investment and inadequate infrastructure. They are marginalised; depositories are dusty, collections which are not curated properly, and staff are at times poorly trained and indifferent. Who can turn the tide?
