| Summary: | Preserving animal’s body or part of the animals have become an important and wellknown
conservation medium to ensure that the future generations are still able to enjoy the
biodiversity and all the incredible species that live within it. This paper aims to present a
qualitative study on perception and preference of subject matter experts (SMEs) on various
curation and preservation methods that is suitable for certain animals for the development of
Natural History Gallery. Interview with the SMEs were done by using semi-structured
questionnaire and prior to this, permission were gained from the respondents by signing the
Informed Consent Form (ICF). The findings suggest that the preservation methods of specimens
ultimately depend on the purpose of specimens collected, either to be preserved as research
specimens or exhibition specimens. The information gained form this study will be valuable as
directive for the development of natural history gallery in Malaysia. |
