Within the 2020-2024 program agreements between the federal government and the cantons, Info Flora was tasked to help bring together expert botanists and the cantons.
Following the recommendations of the Federal Office for the Environment for characeae (a group of large green algae), the canton of Ticino has a relatively high responsibility for one species (Nitella flexilis), for which it is necessary to undertake a study of its actual presence and its conservation status in the canton. Beyond this situation, 4 other species are also a priority in terms of conservation.
The aim of this project is to gather the data required to draw up an action plan for characeae in the canton of Ticino.
This action plan includes:
