	Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN)
	The Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle is a scientific centre of excellence that studies the Earth and living things from the most remote periods of the past to the present day, and examines our future. In this way, it shares its knowledge while working to conserve biodiversity and our natural and cultural heritage. Around 2,500 members of staff - researchers, caretakers, librarians, taxidermists, collections managers, engineers, veterinary surgeons, museologists - work tirelessly to achieve this, both within the walls of the MNHN and in the field.

The AAP’s scientific research is supported by Australia’s leading international policy role in preserving Antarctica as a natural place devoted to peace and science.
