"Saving the World with Evidence, Knowledge and Inspiration" As Canada's national museum of natural history and natural sciences, the role of the Canadian Museum of Nature is foundational to their empowerment and action. "The purpose of the Canadian Museum of Nature is to increase throughout Canada and internationally, interest in, knowledge of and appreciation and respect for the natural world by establishing, maintaining and developing for research and posterity a collection of natural history objects, with special but not exclusive reference to Canada, and by demonstrating the natural world, the knowledge derived from it and the understanding it represents." – from the Museums Act, section 11 (1990, c. 3) The Canadian Museum of Nature plays a critical role in saving the world by undertaking three sets of activities that link scientific exploration with public discovery, understanding and action: Evidence—Exploring to collect, preserve and manage physical evidence of the flora, fauna and geology of Canada and the world across geography and over time. As such, the museum "saves" the world for scientific study and public observation. Knowledge—Undertaking original research or collaborating with other scientific institutions in Canada and abroad to develop new scientific knowledge while at the same time providing physical or digital access to the museum's national natural-history collections. Inspiration—Building on the foundation of its extensive collections and research, and working with internationally renowned partners, the museum uses its exhibitions, programming, digital outreach and internationally travelling exhibitions program to present scientific evidence and knowledge. These inspire new reflections and encourage actions that will "save the world" for future generations. Show less
