The Somaliland Biodiversity Foundation initiated development of a herbarium at the University of Hargeisa in April 2015. Later that year it was decided to develop a Natural History Museum of which the herbarium would be a part. The Museum will focus on plants, animals, and fungi of Somaliland. At present, almost all its specimens are of vascular plants.
