Children´s book as an strategy for plant conservation

The idea of this project started during my time as a postdoc at Tel Aviv University at Sapir Lab. The study system of Royal irises that offer shelter to wildbees, it was a cute story to tell for kids 🙂

This project is supported by COST Action Conserve plants and together with Dr. Marta Berberis and MSc. Karolina Kruskova we created three independent stories about endemic plants from Israel (Iris atropurpurea), Italy (Primula apennina) and Czech Republic (Minuartia smejkalii). Here some pictures of the species:

I presented this project to the COST Action in May 2021 and I got supported, Dr. Baiba Pruse, is our main collaborator, and Dr. Ziva Fiser a general coordinator. Later in October I did an STSM at Vigo University at the Divulgare Lab with Luis Navarro. The initial idea was to include four species (plus one of Spain) by Luis Navarro, but at the end he couldnt participate on the project.

Here I share a link video about my time at Divulgare Lab 🙂 https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6cy7keyrd4zfb4/STSM_Sissi_Lozada_Gobilard.mp4?dl=0

Our books are in the last stage of the design! Hopefully will be ready soon 🙂
