Following the Global Assessment, the Bristol Museum shrouded its endangered wildlife exhibits in a mourning veil to raise awareness of species at risk of extinction

Description of Impact(s) (English Only) The Bristol Museum, which houses one of Britain’s largest natural history collections, decided to shroud its exhibits of extinct and endangered species in black mourning veils to highlight the global biodiversity crisis. Explaining the rationale behind this move, senior curator Isla Gladstone said that the museum was responding to the seriousness of the threats to wildlife and plants as identified in the IPBES Global Assessment. The museum drew its inspiration from a group of visiting schoolchildren who were moved by the exhibit.
