Those plants that have disappeared from the gardens

The worst enemy of our plants is the human being. The “Red List of Italian Flora” leaves no doubt, photographing the state of health of the peninsula’s plant heritage and the dangers that threaten it.
The project started in 2012, with an agreement between the Ministry of the Environment and the Italian Federation of Parks and Nature Reserves; it was coordinated by a group of experts from the Italian Botanical Society led by Graziano Rossi, professor of environmental and applied botany at the University of Pavia.
