El mesías de las plantas

El mesías de las plantas

aventuras en busca de las especies más exóticas del mundo

Magdalena, Carlos

The star curator of the Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew, the most important in the world, is called Carlos Magdalena, an Asturian horticulturist whose mission in this world is to save any plant species from the brink of extinction, either due to ecological damage or due to the thieves who please the hobby of certain wealthy collectors. Many consider him a messiah of plants. Whether it is the Nymphaea thermarum, the tiniest flower on the face of the Earth, or the Ramosmania rodriguesii, the most delicate species in our ecosystem, this Asturian has a wonderful revival gift and has traveled to the most remote corners to ensure, thank you to his knowledge and the most advanced techniques, the propagation and preservation of the most beautiful and exotic plants on our planet. This book is the fascinating story of a man who has dedicated his life to rescuing the most extraordinary species, but above all it is a message of alarm to begin to make this world a better place. Without plants there is no life, and taking care of them is our only solution.
