Perspectives

• During the Reflora meeting in the Latin American Botanical Congress (Salvador, 2014) we proposed to continue and broaden the program, including other taxonomic groups and herbaria (BR, G, M);

• Increase the collection effort in less explored areas, such as the Amazonian region;

• Training new taxonomists;

• The Reflora program will help to improve the data of the Brazilian plants for The World Flora Online Project;

• This goal must be achieved until 2020 as part of Global Strategy for Plant Conservation.

THANK VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ATENTTION!
