-- With regards, J. M. Garg ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Vijayasankar <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 15 Aug, 2021, 9:44 pm Subject: Re: [itpmods:15881] Re: How much value efloraofindia has created ? To: itpmods <[email protected]>
Interesting discussion! The efloraofindia group provides opportunities and training to many budding botanists, and makes a unique platform to interact with fellow members from different fields, across different walks of life and different parts of the world. It enables otherwise impractical collaborations between the common man and subject experts and engages everyone interested in plants and promotes their skills in exploration, photography and identification. The group has brought together total strangers with a common interest - plants. In addition to bringing out many novelties such as new species discoveries and new distributional records, the eFI database supports numerous research publications and adds to the existing knowledge on Indian plants. Although the net worth of the existing database can be measured in terms of monetary value, the scholarly value of eFI's contributions to science and community and the dedication and collective efforts of its members are, in my opinion, beyond any monetary valuations.
