NFOŚ FlorNatur ROBiA Project.

Between 2013 and 2015, as a result of the project "Population assessment and conservation of the ex situ selected wild species of rare and endangered plants in Poland - FlorNatur ROBiA" a network of regional seed banks was created and seeds of 33 species of protected, rare or endangered plants were collected from 75 sites across Poland. In addition, soil samples from the sites where the seeds were collected were collected and analyzed. Some of the soil samples were preserved at low temperatures. At the same time, the project created a database to improve the exchange of data on the current status of seed banks at all project participants. It was also possible to link the new regional seed banks with the nationwide ones already in operation at: PAN Botanical Garden - CZRB in Powsin and LBG Kostrzyca. The rules for the exchange of seed samples between banks were defined, as well as the rules for depositing selected samples in cryogenic conditions. In addition, an extensive project website was created (www.robia.pl), where one can find detailed information on its implementation and the results obtained. The FlorNaturOB and FlorNaturROBiA projects paved the way for the next FlorIntegral project.

REPORTING IRREGULARITIES THAT MAY AFFECT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENT OPERATIONAL PROGRAM

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Development has provided a mechanism for anonymous reporting of potential abuses and irregularities in projects implemented with the support of the Operational Program Infrastructure and Environment. The mechanism makes it possible to signal irregularities via e-mail address:

nadużycia.POIS@mir.gov.pl or via a special form http://www.pois.gov.pl/nieprawidlowosci.
