PLEASE NOTE: Please note this lecture will now be presented by Dr Mark Harvey, Head of Terrestrial Zoology.

Beneath our feet lies a hotspot of subterranean biodiversity. Hear about the lengths our curators go to - from fishing down boreholes in the desert to abseiling, crawling, hammering, digging and cave diving - to collect specimens for the State’s collection.
