	Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras Jose Benito Vives de Andreis INVEMAR The Marine Natural History Museum of Colombia (MHNMC) – Makuriwa, that is part of the Marine and Coastal Research Institute (INVEMAR) holds the most important, numerous and well documented marine biological collections of the country. The Museum is registered in the National Register of Biological Collections (http://rnc.humboldt.org.co/wp/) since 2001 (Registration No. 82). The first lots in the museum are from the 1960s. Most of the collections are organized by phylum, with some exceptions such as Fishes, Plankton, Fungi, Bacteria and the Tissue collection. Samples of the museum are mostly from the Caribbean Sea, however, also from the Tropical Eastern Pacific, as marine areas belonging to the country, whose research is the INVEMAR mission. Most of the data associated with biological collections are available online through the Marine Biodiversity Information System (SiBM) (https://siam.invemar.org.co/sibm) which is the marine node of SiB-Colombia; through the IPT-SiBM https://ipt.biodiversidad.co/sibm); and through GBIF and OBIS, since INVEMAR is a data provider.

	Northwestern University Ecological Park & Botanic Gardens Northwestern University Ecological Park (NUEBG) was established as a plant diversity conservation facility and repository in the Northwestern Luzon, Philippines. It houses living plant collection as well as an herbarium - The Herbarium of the Northwestern Luzon, Philippines with international code HNUL, including a small collection of preserved natural history specimen.It also preserve seeds and pollen and spores of plants and fungi as part of the Millenium Seedbank Partnership program, and a DNA collecting project as an output of the Global Genome Initiative in 2021-2022. The Botanic Garden was established in 2007, and has been a hub for biodiversity research as it also manages several satellite in situ conservation sites. It is both registered to the BGCI and the IABG, a level IV in the Arboretum Network accreditation. A member of the Southeast Asian Garden Network and the Botanic Gardens and Arboreta Network of the Philippines. The garden's enormous living plant collections houses morethan 230 families of the kingdom Plantae and are used extensively for plant systematics following the latest APG IV classification.
