@drsdodsworth.bsky.social is offering an exciting CASE PhD opportunity Deciphering plant-insect interactions in a diverse urban botanical garden and the implications for developing urban planting schemes in collaboration with the fantastic Chelsea Physic Garden

The bad news: 26% of wild plants are under threat, up from 23% in 2005.

The good news: Conservation action works, as partners @plantlifeuk.bsky.social have shown!
