Dear Friends, In the next few days the university that houses the Natural History Museum in Lima (Peru) will make a decision as to whether or not to destroy the current museum. The plans for the future housing of the extensive museum collections seem inadequate. There is some feeling that a strong international response will help get the university change its course. I have just read and signed the online petition: "Salvemos el Museo de Historia Natural - MUSM (Lima-Peru) / Save the Museum of Natural History - MUSM (Lima-Peru)" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/musm1710/<http://www.petitiononline.com/musm1710/> If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself.
