Beyond their beauty, plants provide for the survival of all life – food, medicine, and the air we breathe. BRIT believes that an understanding of Earth’s ecosystem – and the pivotal role that plants play in them – will enable us as Earth’s stewards to make sound decisions that will benefit future generations.
BRIT’s mission is to conserve our natural heritage by deepening our knowledge of the plant world and achieving public understanding of the value plants bring to life.
“BRIT’s hope is that through research and education, people everywhere will learn to cherish and protect all of nature for the enjoyment of its many treasures that could not be regained once lost.”
