The first international "Fascination of Plants Day" (May 18th 2012) will be launched under the umbrella of the European Plant Science Organisation. The goal of this activity is to get as many people as possible around the world fascinated by plants and enthused about the importance of plant science. vifabio is supporting this campaign by collecting the most important internet sources together for you.
You will find more biological web resources in our Internet Guide - a catalogue of annotated and evaluated internet sites.
Mammutbäume - wohl die größten Lebewesen der Erde - strahlen durch Mächtigkeit, Form und Farbe nicht nur etwas Besonderes aus, sondern sind auch ein wertvoller Bestandteil für Wald- und Parkanlagen in unserer europäischen Umgebung. Demgegenüber steht aber eine wachsende Zahl alter, teilweise über 100-jähriger Mammutbäume, die - oft trotz vollständiger Vitalität - in den letzten Jahren gefällt wurden, um z. B. Platz für Neubauten zu schaffen. Der Schutz dieser wundervollen Bäume wurde und wird immer noch vernachlässigt. Aus diesem Grunde möchten wir - die Mitglieder des Vereines "Projekt Mammutbaum e.V." - in erster Linie die Natur und insbesondere die Mammutbäume schützen und unsere Erfahrungen zur Verfügung stellen. Wir laden Sie ein, zusammen mit der Mammutbaum-Gemeinschaft einen kleinen Teil zum Naturschutz beizutragen. Auf den Webseiten des Vereines und der Community (mit Forum, Wiki und Mammutbaum-Register) möchten wir Ihnen dazu eindrucksvolle Mammutbäume - insbesondere in Deutschland und in den europäischen Nachbarländern - vorstellen und Ihnen gleichzeitig unsere Vereinsarbeit und die Resultate der bisherigen Projektarbeit aufzeigen. ...

Plantlife is the charity that speaks up for the nation’s wild plants. We work hard to protect them on the ground and to build understanding of the vital role they play in everyone’s lives. Wild plants are essential to life – they clean our air and water, provide food and shelter for our insects, birds and animals and are critical in the fight against climate change. Plantlife carries out practical conservation work, manages nature reserves, influences policy and legislation, runs events and activities that connect people with their local wild plants and works with others to promote their conservation for the benefit of all. Our wild plants have been marginalised and taken for granted for too long. Please help us to protect and conserve them. ... [Information of the supplier]
The native plants of California are unlike any other in the world. From the richly colored expanse of spring wildflowers in the desert to groves of Monterey cypress on the coast, California's wild gardens are immensely diverse and awe-inspiring in their beauty. They define the landscape and offer Californians a sense of place, pride and stability, and they provide habitat for endemic wildlife species that exist no place else on earth. Since 1965, CNPS has worked hard to protect California's native plant heritage and preserve it for future generations. CNPS actively promotes the use of science in land use and management decisions through our Online Rare Plant Inventory and essential reference book: Manual of California Vegetation, 2nd Edition, both of which are the most advanced resources available for identifying and managing critical habitat in California. We work closely with decision-makers, scientists, and local planners to advocate for well-informed and environmental friendly policies, regulations, and land management practices. Originally formed in 1965 in the east bay region, the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) is a statewide non-profit organization of amateurs and professionals with a common interest in California's native plants. Our nearly 10,000 members work to promote native plant appreciation, research, education, and conservation through our five statewide programs and 33 regional chapters in California. Through membership in CNPS, Californians of all walks of life are able to support and engage in opportunities to experience and learn about native plants and their habitats, gardening and landscaping with native plants, restoration of habitat areas, and conservation issues throughout the state. ...
