Planta Europa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Planta Europa is the network of independent organisations, non-governmental and governmental, working together to conserve European wild plants and fungi. It brings together more than 60 member organisations from 34 European countries.

The Planta Europa Network was established in 1995 as a result of a conference discussing pan-European cooperation for plant conservation. Since then, Planta Europa has held a conference once every three years (1998 in Sweden, 2001 in the Czech Republic, 2004 in Spain, and in 2007 it will be held in Romania) where hundreds of experts gather to discuss the directions and joint goals for plant conservation across Europe.

The joint goal of all Planta Europa members is to halt the loss of wild-plant diversity in Europe by 2007.
