El octavo “Día Internacional de la Fascinación de las Plantas” 2026 (FoPD 2026) será lanzado por científicos especializados en plantas de todo el mundo bajo el paraguas de la Organización Europea de Ciencias Vegetales (EPSO).
El objetivo de esta actividad es lograr que la mayor cantidad de personas posible alrededor del mundo se sientan fascinadas por las plantas y se entusiasmen con la importancia de la ciencia vegetal para la agricultura y la producción sostenible de alimentos nutritivos, así como para la horticultura, la silvicultura y la producción de productos no alimentarios de base vegetal como papel, madera, químicos, energía y productos farmacéuticos. El papel de las plantas en la conservación ambiental también es un mensaje clave.
¡Todos son bienvenidos a unirse a esta iniciativa!
In this year’s FoPD in Uruguay, the celebration focused on educating children about the wonders of plants. Lots of children visited the Botanic Garden in Montevideo where experts and guides told them about the importance of plants and shared interesting stories related to this park. The guides and children explored the Botanic Garden, discovering and enjoying exotic plants and learning lots of new things about common plants.
