I am very happy to share that the Missouri Botanical Garden has received funding to digitize their entire herbarium! This work - made possible by an anonymous $14.4 million grant - will image and transcribe all 8 million specimens in the MO herbarium.

Great talk by @SophieJago18 with @James_Borrell on Major trade-offs between conservation and wellbeing outcomes across Ethiopia’s protected area network. Worryingly protected areas have a negative impact on local food security. @KewScience
