The Wollemi Pine is one of the world's oldest and rarest tree species belonging to a 200 million year old plant family. It was known from fossil records and was presumed extinct until it was discovered in 1994 in the Wollemi National Park just outside Australia's largest city, Sydney. The mission of Wollemi Pine International is to conserve the Wollemi Pine for future generations and to raise awareness of conservation internationally. Through public participation, we will repopulate the Wollemi Pine and return royalties to fund conservation of the Pines in the wild and other threatened and endangered species. ...

The Central Database for Cultivated Woody Plants in Europe Ginkgo (www.uni-duisburg-essen.de/ginkgo) now comes into existence, after many years of preparatory work, and at the instigation of the Board of the German Dendrological Society (DDG), and in co-operation with several universities, nurseries, arboretums, botanical gardens, park administrations, nature protection and memorial garden authorities. The homepage gives an insight into the status of the registration of remarkable trees (habitat, location, growth etc.) as well as providing further knowledge about trees and shrubs (nomenclature, origin, distribution, location, growth behaviour, morphology, use, propagation, diseases etc.). More information about the database Ginkgo is found in the same place under “General”, or through the database administration. All those who themselves, out of interest, within the framework of their practical work, or in the course of their studies and diploma work, are concerned in the collection and evaluation of data on trees and shrubs (e.g. registration of specimens, protection of woods, care of memorial gardens, new planting of woods, care of woods, scope of care) may participate in the construction of the Gingko Register (after creating username and password). The woody plants inventory of DDG (1974) and simplified are made available, scientific names are partly available via and are linked to the inventory. The making available of more data such as e.g. aids to age estimation, information about habitat demands, gardening or biological engineering application possibilities, etc., is being worked on. ...

Major objectives of GLOMIS are: (1) To construct a database with the characteristics of single mangrove species and of mangrove ecosystems; (2) To disseminate worldwide the information stored in the Database; (3) To focus on the functioning, management and rational uses of single species of mangroves and of entire mangrove ecosystems, including local environmental and socio-economic inplications for coastal communities; (4) Organize, maintain and up-date at regular intervals the information system which is meant for the use of forestry, ficheries, law-makers and administrators, decision makers and users at large. This first phase of GLOMIS consists of a searchable database of scientific literature relating to mangroves, institutions and scientists working on all aspects of mangroves, as well as regional projects and programmes related to mangroves. We believe that GLOMIS is ready to be opened on the Web although refinements, improvements and corrections will always be needed. ... [Information of the supplier]
