About :

Plants are the backbone of biodiversity, and yet, we non-botanists know very little about them. And to some extent, we don't even see them. This phenomenon is called plant blindness, or botanical blindness. Is it serious? Yes, really. Firstly, because our ill-informed decisions are endangering biodiversity. By only seeing animals, we forget to protect plants, and species disappear every year sometimes before we can even study them. And by buying and propagating any plant, we permanently impoverish landscapes, while invasive species proliferate. Secondly... because botany is wonderful! The pleasure of learning is associated with the joy of protecting what is fragile and precious. You too can become a Sunday botanist!

Fascinated by the abundance of the plant world, Zoé Thivet wants to share this passion that is as urgent as it is joyful. Her dream: that botany (re)becomes a mainstream pleasure. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
