Thank you, Ensermu and Mesfin, for this alert. I have just signed the petition and added this comment:

" Every time I come to the UK, I make a point of visiting RBG Kew and bringing relatives and friends with me. For me, it is a great haven in the London metropolis and one of the Wonders of the world. Let me give you a small example of Kew's value as a global scientific and natural resource. Here in New Jersey, I am actively using Kew's ditigised herbarium collections as I mentor a inner-city high school student from Liberia on her science project about medicinal plants in Africa and North America. Please restore RBG Kew's funding!"

Hi!

I just signed the petition "Globally important conservation and science under threat at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew due to UK Government cuts - £5M deficit will lead to loss of over 120 posts" on Change.org.

It's important. Will you sign it too? Here's the link:

Thanks!
