Save the Species 2023
The historic Palm House at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, a World Heritage Site, is regarded as the most significant surviving glasshouse from the 19th Century. It currently houses and displays several im-perilled palm species, including Ravenea moorei, which originates from the Comoro Islands. This elegant species is dioecious, and the male tree at Kew may be the only plant in cultivation.
Funding from the IPS Save the Species Campaign will kickstart this essential effort to save Comoro Island palm species from certain extinction. Please give generously!
