#GreenPlanet, botanical missions

All scientific discoveries are the result of asking questions, exploring and researching. Everything starts with our amazement when confronted by the natural world. Then comes a desire to discover its secrets and uncover its laws. The threats species are facing make it essential to take action to conserve and protect our huge plant heritage.
