need your support to save Zoological Museum Hamburg collections

[Fet, Victor]

Dear Colleagues:

I has been informed by German colleagues that due to campus planning changes, the University of Hamburg administration is considering downsizing or eliminating (!) the Zoological Museum Hamburg collections.

As many of you, I have enjoyed for decades the access to the famous collections of ZMH, on loan and in person.

Please join me in the unequivocal support by mail or fax to the following addresses:
