Since 1984, the Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe has been dedicated to the conservation of gorillas, especially the mountain gorillas, and their habitats. The Board consists of three honorary members who contribute their skills and experience in different disciplines. As project planning has to incorporate not only biological but also economic, social and political aspects, this multidisciplinary approach is very important. We focus our work on the eastern gorillas by supporting projects contributing to the conservation of these animals. Occasionally, we also support projects for the conservation of certain populations of western gorillas that are particularly at risk. In addition, we support research activities of (predominantly local) scientists. With competent members the Berggorilla & Regenwald Direkthilfe also takes part in population censuses and ecological studies. Finally, we provide necessary equipment to support the important work of the rangers. ... [Information of the supplier]
This online flora provides access to all published volumes of the Flore d’Afrique Centrale. It covers about 6,000 vascular plant taxa from the Democratic Republic Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. You will find many details of the plants of Central Africa including scientific names and synonyms, illustrations and descriptions, local names of plants, location and habitat information, and ethnobotany. Also included are keys to the genera and species. The Flore d’Afrique Centrale has been published since 1948 and has been digitised from the paper volumes. Errors produced by the digitisation have been corrected, but apart from a few exceptions the text in the online version is identical to the original version. The only things that have been changed are obvious spelling mistakes in the original and the authorities of scientific names have been standardised against Brummitt and Powell’s Authors of Plant Names (1992). ...
