Hello everyone,

I hope this email finds you well. I'd be ever so grateful if you could spare a few minutes of your time to complete this survey please.

'From Blue Iguanas to Blue Vervain: Sharing the colonial histories from the UK Overseas Territories' is a collaborative project is funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) as part of the call: "Hidden Histories of Environmental Science: Acknowledging legacies of race, social injustice and exclusion to inform the future".

As part of this project, we would like to gather UK overseas territories data held in natural science collections around the world, to share with people living and working where the data originated. This data can then be more widely accessed to facilitate public engagement and biodiversity conservation.

The project is led by the UK Centre for Hydrology & Ecology with partners at the National Trust for the Cayman Islands; The Montserrat National Trust; Meise Botanic Garden, Belgium; Leeds Museums and Galleries; and the UK Overseas Territories Conservation Forum.

Please click on this link to access the survey: https://lmgnaturalsciences.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/blue-iguanas-to-blue-vervain-uk-museum-survey

The survey will be open until the end of September.

Do contact me off list if you have any questions: rebecca.machin at leeds.gov.uk<mailto:rebecca.machin at leeds.gov.uk> (I shall be away from my computer for much of August so may not be able to respond quickly, however).

Thank you very much for your help.
