Environmental

Education

Interaction and transmission of knowledge to people
which will allow them to explore environmental issues,
get involved in problem solving, and take action to improve the environment.

Data collection

and Field Surveys

Good practices for monitoring biodiversity, data collection
and field research for update and improvement of existing knowledge.

In situ

Conservation

Conservation of all levels of biological diversity (genetic, species, ecosystems)
in their natural environment for the sustainability of natural populations
especially of rare and endangered plant taxa.

Inter situ

Conservation

Restoration of the declining population of a plant taxon in areas
that are outside their current range but within historical ranges,
inferred from historical records.

Ex situ

Conservation

Conventional and modern approaches for conservation
of all levels of biological diversity outside their natural environment.

Sustainable

Management

Protection, restoration and promotion of sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems,
decrease of threats and pressures and halt of biodiversity loss.

Raising

Awareness

Meet, interact and discuss with stakeholders, decision makers,
general public and youth in order to inform them about
environmental concerns and how these can be faced.
