PLANT GUARDIANS is a hub to help citizen-naturalists, botanists, ecologists, and others with a deep concern for plant biodiversity (or a particular species) to find one another and to use this website to discuss ideas for promoting the wellbeing of plants — species by species or issue by issue — in a time of rapid climate change, pollinator depletion, and human impositions on habitat.

• Scan the list of PLANT GROUPS for your genus/species of concern. If you don't find a guardian group already in existence, start one! Then you can post ideas, articles, links, and see who shows up to join the discussion.
  
  
• Scan the list of ISSUES GROUPS to view/join a discussion. If you don't find the issue you want to discuss, then create a group to begin discussion on that thread, and to post articles and links.

The prototype for a species-specific guardian group is TORREYA GUARDIANS, which took form via the internet in 2004, and which has already taken action ("assisted migration") in behalf of the world's most endangered conifer tree species: Torreya taxifolia.

Note: This is an entirely self-organizing website that promotes collective intelligence while empowering citizen-naturalists and encouraging professional/amateur collaborations. There are no by-laws, officers, board, staff, overhead costs, dues, formal organizational structure, or physical location to this organization.
