The botanists of PonDerat participated in the meeting of the Floristics, Systematics and Evolution group of the Italian Botanical Society with a speech entitled "Life Projects: an opportunity for basic floristic research". "Our" botanists emphasize the importance of basic research for the purposes of conservation and land management. During the monitoring actions foreseen by the project, we were able to collect valuable information on the flora and vegetation of the Pontine Islands. These data are necessary for a correct assessment of the state of biodiversity and for a greater understanding of the dynamics in progress, reconfirming the presence of species important for the conservation, some no longer reported at the Pontianas since the early 1900s and showing the evolution of the vegetation.
