The Palm Day Edition

IPS members celebrated palms on a visit to Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay, a world-class palmy landscape.
April 17 is International Palm Day, a day to recognize the plight of endangered palms, their fragile ecosystems, and their roles in the environment. It is also the birthday (in 1794) of Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius, the Father of Palms. Join us in celebrating palms! How will you celebrate?
This issue also features a trip to Lord Howe Island, a Save the Species campaign update, and upcoming travel!
