Dear friends, I come this Christmas day to share with you a fact that perhaps your act of charity can help to avoid.
For those who do not know since 2019, I have links with the Amazon Museum, a private non-profit institution (similar to an NGO) that is responsible for taking care of a section of the Ducke reserve in Manaus and from this space to produce exhibitions to raise awareness of environmental guidelines, but also popularization and science teaching.
Since 2019 the institution has been working on the construction of a paleontology exhibition that already has a Purussaurus brasiliensis built bone by bone in real size! In addition, in 2020, with the approval of a curatorial project by FAPEAM (Amazonas State Development Agency), MUSA will have three post-doctoral students for the construction of the scientific collection of paleontology, biology, geology, for a year. archeology, as well as the production of scientific content such as the works I was part of and came out this year.
However, due to the pandemic that terribly affected everyone's life, MUSA had to stay behind closed doors for a few months and due to the lack of control by the government and the population about the spread of the virus, we will have to close the doors again. All these days behind closed doors have a tremendously negative impact on the institution that basically lives off the money from the maintenance and staff payments. Although we have government aid under the cultural incentive law, these values are restricted to the construction of exhibitions and projects and cannot be used to pay employees.
Therefore, I come here to share this story in case you are interested in helping this institution to donate some value to MUSA this year so that we can continue working and producing science and exhibitions.
Thanks in advance for your attention and have a happy Christmas and happy new year.
