Virtual Museum of Natural History

This virtual museum grew out of my lifelong interest in natural history. It is a digital collection of Somalia's plants and animals. Choose a hall, then open any exhibit to read its specimen label.

Somalia Biodiversity Project

A community effort to document the plants and animals of Somalia. Anyone can contribute: researchers, students, fishers and nature lovers record what they see on iNaturalist, and each observation adds to the open record of Somalia's biodiversity. Driven by curiosity about natural history, the project grows with every contributor.
