The network of French-speaking botanists. The Tela Botanica is a network of all French-speaking botanists, who want to share their knowledge on ecology and preserving the nature. Its purpose is to promote the exchange of information, to run projects thanks to new communication technologies and to provide open source data to serve the whole botanical community, professionals as well as amateurs.
