Since May 12, a large-format display summarizing the FlorIntegral project has been on view in Oak Avenue.
The goal of the project, implemented from 2018 to 2021, was to improve the conservation status of Poland's most valuable plant species by integrating activities used in active nature conservation.
31 rare and endangered domestic vascular plant species were protected, including:
- 29 covered by legal protection,
- 28 endangered or threatened with extinction in Poland,
- 2 endemics (i.e., found only in Poland),
- 6 sub-endemics (i.e., having their main place of occurrence in Poland),
- 14 relics (i.e., which are mementos of the vegetation cover in our country from prehistoric times).
We invite all interested parties to visit the exhibition, which, in addition to a huge portion of knowledge and information on how endangered plants are protected in seed banks and DNA banks, provides a great aesthetic experience.
The exposition has been prepared with great attention to detail and substantive messages developed by the experts implementing the project. And for those who can't come to us, we encourage you to keep an eye on the event, which will feature periodic posts showcasing the various activities and plants covered by the project.
The implementers of the project, in addition to the staff of our Garden, were teams from the Silesian Botanical Gardens in Radzionków and Mikolow, the Botanical Garden of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin and the Botanical Garden of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan.
The project has received funding from the European Union Cohesion Fund under the "Infrastructure and Environment" 2014-2020 Operational Program for Priority Axis II "Environmental Protection, including Adaptation to Climate Change."
The exhibition is available during the Garden's opening hours, i.e. 9am - 8pm.
