Our Collection
These unique resources for scientific research and education are the only collections that represent the biodiversity of our area. We are working to make these more accessible for research and teaching, and to expand on a regular basis in order to accurately reflect the region's faunal and floral life.
Mission Statement
The mission of the AUBNHM is to play an important scientific, educational and environmental role by enhancing, through its activities and exhibitions, the public awareness, understanding and appreciation of the natural environment. It strives to serve, through its valuable plant and animal collections, as a leading center and promoter of scientific studies of regional fauna and flora, biological diversity, biogeography and conservation within Lebanon and the Middle East. The Museum’s curators and scientists will, together with regional and international collaborations, provide consultation and expertise and facilitate research opportunities at the graduate, undergraduate and other professional levels.
