Foråret holder flyttedag Den 20. marts er det forårsjævndøgn, hvor dag og nat er lige lange. Dagen har altid været en fejring af, at foråret er kommet. Men foråret begynder stadig tidligere, og det kan skabe alvorlige konsekv...

Today marks the vernal equinox, a day which has always been a celebration of spring's arrival 🌱 But spring is beginning earlier each year. The project Find Foråret aims to show how climate change is affecting Danish nature by registering 20 species throughout spring: snm.dk/da/nyhed/for... (Danish)

Additionally, seven new species of frogs have been discovered in Madagascar, and a new species of mosquito was identified in 40-million-year-old amber. Let’s hope 2025 will be just as eventful for the museum's research endeavors!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from us 🎉

Other projects focus on detecting early plastic materials in marine environments and monitoring changes in marine mammal species through underwater listening stations in Greenland.

The year has also brought several exciting research projects around the world. Among them is a project designed to assist potato farmers in the Andes Mountains and another aimed at preserving biodiversity in the Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania.

Students have also assisted researchers at the museum and the University of Copenhagen with real research projects. Their efforts have led to exciting discoveries, including new species – thanks to the students’ work, we have doubled our knowledge of Danish tardigrade fauna.

Look back at a year of research with us 🌟

Several of the museum's researchers have been appointed professors this year, and multiple projects in research, education, and Citizen Science have received grants and significant funding.
