[PCA] Plant conservation progress in the U.S.?

[Andrea Kramer]

Are we making progress on plant conservation in the United States?

BGCI US and the Plant Conservation Alliance are working to answer this question, and we’ve developed a survey that lets everyone involved in plant conservation* in the U.S. easily report their efforts and help guide future plant conservation activities.  Whether you work at a government agency, academic institution, or the private sector, or if you work or volunteer at a conservation organization, we want to make sure your contributions to conserving America's native plants are counted.

We need your help to make this project a success. Please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NationalFramework to take the survey now.

The survey contains 20 questions, will take 10-15 minutes to complete, and will be open until April 30, 2011. Results will be published in a freely-available report , and used to measure progress toward the PCA's National Framework for Progress in Plant Conservation while helping to guide its evolution.  Please see www.bgci.org/usa/PCAProgress for more information about this project.

Thank you for your participation!
