BBS Tropical Bryology Group: home page
                                                                                                                   

The BBS Tropical Bryology Group was set up in 1989, in response to the threat to bryophytes caused by continuing damage to the tropical environment.

 

It has encouraged an unprecedented level of enthusiasm and activity, even amongst BBS members who have never collected in the tropics. We have concentrated on Africa, which largely has been ignored by bryologists outside Europe and Africa, and we have been able to make a significant and continuing impact on African bryology.

 

Membership is free to all BBS members - just contact the TBG Coordinator (details below), and you will be able to take part in projects such as:
  - a generic bryophyte flora of Africa
  - a bryophyte flora of Uganda
  - taxonomic work on African bryophytes
  - future expeditions
and of course receive the annual newsletter.
