Natural history museums & libraries provide exceptional resources for both traditional & non-traditional education settings. Because they are snapshots in time & space, collections provide information that can never be duplicated. Learning about & interacting deeply with the living world is facilitated by exposure to collections. Specimens in collections allow for direct tracking of global biological diversity & also changes in that diversity, whether those changes are ancient or recent. This paper investigates the significance of biodiversity & pollution in the field of natural history studies, as well as the connection between the two concepts. It is emphasised here how the current rise in specimen-based digitization programmes has provided access to an unprecedented biodiversity data wealth, vastly expanding the scope of natural history collections. The methodology was used as a secondary source of data, which was gathered using online sources. By providing access to specimens & data housed in natural history collections, online databases have allowed scientists along with the general public to address worldwide, regional, & also local concerns concerning biodiversity in a manner that was not conceivable a decade ago.
