Description
We're hard at work on the new expanded English language edition of Conifers Around the World expected to be published in 2006 by Dendro Press . Meanwhile, you can preview some sample pages in our new brochure.
It is not difficult to establish how rapidly interest is growing in natural science and conservation, worldwide. More and more, people are realizing how perishable our living environment is, even sacrificing time and money for a more complete understanding and growing responsibility for securing its existence for upcoming generations. With gains on specific issues such as earth science and conservation, access to a wider range of information will be a help in geographical and political approaches, promoting better understanding of the problems that different regions are facing. These different regions are all one: our Earth.
The International Dendrological Research Institute is a publicly supported, nonprofit [501(c)(3)] organization dedicated to documenting the woody flora, the backbone of the forest, worldwide The variability of the species and the composition of their communities as they appear in their habitats hold important information toward a better understanding of our living environment and related conservation issues. IDRI's purpose is both to support the documentation of the selected flora (Dendrological Documentation Project, DDP), and to make this documentation available for public use, both as botanical documentation (natural history collection) and by creating a widely usable tool for dendrological education and a better understanding of our goals and challenges.
