The main objective of the ConservePlants campaign is to improve plant conservation in Europe by establishing a network of scientists and other stakeholders dealing with various aspects of plant conservation, from plant taxonomy, ecology, conservation genetics, conservation physiology and reproductive biology to protected area managers. It is also important not to forget social scientists, who are crucial when dealing with the general public.

The project manager is dr. Živa Fišer from the Department of Biodiversity at UP FAMNIT.
