A major philanthropic gift\u00a0to the Nature Foundation<\/a>\u00a0by two renowned entomologists will fund a program for visiting scientists at the Canadian Museum of Nature, Canada\u2019s national museum of natural history and natural sciences.<\/p>\n

The endowment by Drs. Jarmila and Stewart Peck, now retired but with long-standing ties to Carleton University, will support in-person study of the museum\u2019s world-class collections of beetles and fossil insects by researchers and students from around the world. These studies, in turn, inform projects and international collaborations related to natural history, biodiversity and environmental \u00a0change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pecks\u2019 gift is timely. The pandemic has put a fine point on the importance of nature to our own health and the well-being of the planet, yet only a tiny fraction of philanthropy supports nature initiatives,\u201d says Rob Crosbie, Chair of the Nature Foundation Board. \u201cThe Pecks demonstrate the type of commitment needed to support evidence-based science that fosters solutions for a sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n
