The new Natural History Museum gardens are expected to allow researchers to look at the kind of life that makes these environments home to many wildlife species, from frogs to tiny microscopic organisms invisible to the human eye.
The gardens will be built on the five acres (two hectares) of grounds around the museum in South Kensington, west London, which have not been used for gardens or research before, according to Sky News.
The gardens will tell the story of the evolution of life on Earth, taking people through palaeontology sciences as they move from east to west, according to the museum. The sit is also expected to reflect the modern day, focusing on what can be done to protect nature.
In addition, to its educational benefits, the sensors installed across the site will monitor conditions like temperature, humidity and sound, to better understand the impacts of climate change on local wildlife.
