    2. Ichthyology (Fish): It includes more than 1.5 million specimens and over 40,000 tissue samples, making it Canada's largest and one of the ten largest in the Western Hemisphere.
    3. Mycology (Fungi): This section hosts over half a million specimens, of which 99,000 have been digitized so far. It focuses on significant pathogens like rusts and smuts that affect various plant species.

    • Engage with the public to promote the scientific and economic significance of the collections.

    • Support ongoing research and initiatives related to biodiversity, environmental conservation, and climate change impact studies.
