Plants Sustain Our World

Botanists and plant ecologists are needed to save our planet! There is amazing power in these unique organisms, and our world could not exist without them!

From tiny lichens to towering pines, plants work to clean our air, help us feed the world, allow us to build houses, and provide beauty in our lives. Because the world's growing population has resulted in the destruction of so much plant life, botanists are needed to save our world!
To be a hero, study botany and apply your knowledge of plants to create change!
