This event marked a meaningful milestone for our Entomology Department as we successfully received imaging equipment dedicated to the study and documentation of insect biodiversity.

The donation event was a great success, bringing together partners and stakeholders in a shared commitment to strengthening research, education, and preservation. This support has enhanced our capacity to make natural heritage more accessible and better understood.

From the smallest specimen to the biggest discoveries, every detail now has a clearer story to tell.

We are deeply grateful to our partners and supporters who continue to invest in science, heritage, and the future. 🐜🔬✨
