This Winter in Dublin, explore how natural history collections in the Dead Zoo can help us understand biodiversity in Ireland and beyond.

This online talk was developed as part of adult programming for Biodiversity Week 2023. It was a pre-recorded talk with live Q&A with NMI - Natural History Keeper, Paolo Viscardi. 

To learn more about the important role of the collections with Keeper, Paolo Viscardi, click on Biodiversity and Birds at the Dead Zoo.

This display looked at some of the problems facing marine wildlife today and was created by scientists from Atlantic Technological University (ATU) in collaboration with taxidermist Donal Mulcahy and artist Sabine Springer.
