Fauna Collections

Fauna collections refer to organized groups of preserved or documented animal specimens gathered for scientific study, education, and reference. These collections can include insects, birds, mammals, reptiles, and other animals, often stored in museums, research institutions, or universities. They serve as valuable resources for studying species diversity, evolution, and conservation. Typically, specimens are carefully preserved through methods like pinning, freezing, or chemical preservation, and cataloged with detailed information about their origin, date, and characteristics. Fauna collections support research by providing physical examples that help scientists understand and compare species across different regions and periods.
