Since then CETAF has served as a meeting point for major European natural history museums and botanical gardens, and initiated and played an important role in a number of projects (see links below).Currently, CETAF has 33 members, which constitute a total of 58 institutions spanning 20 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the UK).Together, CETAF institutions hold a large fraction (c. 500 million objects) of the world’s most important natural history collections, and the scientific staff have unique expertise in taxonomy and systematics. Biodiversity loss, global warming and other environmental issues need natural history collections and related expertise as sources of knowledge and for reference. The increasing political and public awareness of environmental questions and their importance for society provide both challenges and opportunities for taxonomic facilities.CETAF strives to represent the interests of its member institutions, to enhance the visibility of its members, and to be a powerful voice for natural history collections and collections-based research in Europe."@en }
