The Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) is a global botanical research institute and learning center located in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. BRIT moved to a new facility next to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden in spring 2011. BRIT was established in 1987 to hold in public trust the herbarium and botanical library collections amassed by Dr. Lloyd Shinners at Southern Methodist University. It is a 501(c)(3) private, non-profit organization governed by a Board of Trustees. Focused on conservation and knowledge sharing, BRIT serves as a plant information center for scientists and professionals, and an interpretation center for people wanting to learn more about the plant world and how they can help conserve earth's natural heritage for future generations. BRIT is dedicated to supporting science and increasing its collections by discovering and documenting plant diversity both regionally and globally, and by teaching conservation science through public education. BRIT's International Award of Excellence in Conservation is presented annually to an individual or organization that exemplifies ideals expressed in BRIT's mission. == Mission and Purpose== BRIT's mission is to conserve our natural heritage by deepening our knowledge of the plant world and achieving public understanding of the value that plants bring to life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Botanical Research Institute of Texas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
