Czech scientists launch international project to save critically endangered “glacial” plant

Czech scientists have launched an international project to save the critically endangered Jurinea cyanoides, a plant that is considered to be a remnant of the Ice Age. It can still be found in a few remaining locations in the Czech Republic and Germany, and is still present in Ukraine. Botanists from all three countries are collaborating on the project, called LIFE for Jurinea.
