The eighth international “Fascination of Plants Day” 2026 (FoPD 2026) will be launched by plant scientists across the world under the umbrella of the European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO).
The goal of this activity is to get as many people as possible around the world fascinated by plants and enthused about the importance of plant science for agriculture and sustainable production of nutritious food, as well as for horticulture, forestry and the production of plant-based non-food products such as paper, timber, chemicals, energy and pharmaceuticals. The role of plants in environmental conservation is also a key message.
The Environmental Association for the Protection of Wetlands and Vegetation – Ouargla is organizing a local celebration of the Fascination of Plants Day 2026 in Ouargla, Algeria.
This event aims to raise awareness about the importance of plants in desert ecosystems and wetlands, particularly in arid regions such as southern Algeria. Plants play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity, protecting soil, supporting wildlife, and helping communities adapt to climate change.
During this event, participants will discover the diversity and ecological value of desert vegetation and wetland plants through presentations, interactive discussions, and environmental awareness activities. The initiative also seeks to promote the protection of local plant species and encourage sustainable environmental practices within the community.
Students, researchers, environmental activists, and the general public are warmly invited to participate in this day dedicated to plants, nature, and environmental awareness.
Main themes: Desert plants • Wetlands • Environmental awareness
