Rediscovering the Undiscovered: Revitalizing the Cerro Juan Diaz Archaeological Ceramic Collection (Presentation in Spanish)
A Book of Tiny Plants
Presenting hidden biodiversity
Panama City, Panama
An activity book for kids looks at the world of the smallest plants.
Mosses, liverworts and hornworts belong to an ancient group of tiny seedless plants called the bryophytes that are very common in the tropics but often overlooked. STRI staff scientist Noris Salazar Allen, jointly with the Mesoamerican Corridor of the Atlantic of Panama II (CBMAP II) of the current Ministry of the Environment (former Panama’s National Environmental Authority - ANAM) and the University of Panama, presented the Spanish-language children’s guide: “The World of Little Plants, the Bryophytes, Activity Book,” to several groups of school kids at Panama City’s Metropolitan Nature Park on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012 . The book was made thanks to a grant by the Smithsonian Women's Committee.
