Petition to keep the Kew Herbarium as a working herbarium

How does the specimens available online become well curated? Because the taxonomists go to these museums to analyse the real specimens and make the species identifications. I updated the Vellozia collection at the Missouri Botanical Garden's herbarium after one week of work. – at St Louis, MO

Why move the Kew Gardens Herbarium to a new location starting in January 2025 - when it falls yet again on the tax payer to fund the purchase of the land and the cost of the specialist building?
Sign to say leave it at Kew Gardens:

'...It is estimated it will cost the taxpayer around half a billion pounds should the project go ahead, when the remodelling of the vacated historic herbarium buildings at Kew is taken into account.'
Please sign + RT.
Kew Herbarium should remain at Kew.

It's concerning to see Kew management prioritizing their own agenda over the concerns of their staff. A successful move requires collaboration and communication, not unilateral decisions. Consultation event in Shinfield planned for 15 October. #StopKewMove #ListenToYourTeam
