The United Nations declared 2010 as International Year of Biodiversity, so we're taking this opportunity to celebrate all things large and small...
When you visit the NMDC these school holidays, join our guide at the touch table to investigate the marine animals Wanted Alive. View artefacts from protected animals, such as a sawfish rostrum and turtle shell. By helping to raise awareness of these animals and the reasons why they are protected, we hope to preserve our biodiversity for the future.
