Plants Are Cool, Too

Botanists will nod knowingly at the title of this YouTube channel, but for other readers watching just a few videos is enough to be convinced. Dr. Chris Martine created and hosts the channel, bringing together his interests and expertise in biodiversity, botany, and ecology. He launched the series in 2012 and has released videos periodically since. Videos are short (less than 20 minutes), informative (thanks to a knowledgeable host and great guests), and captivating (with lots of stunning nature imagery). Viewers can transport to the Allegheny River, where they will learn about conservation efforts to save the blue false indigo; or, hop over to Kaua'i, Hawai'i, where they will explore the National Tropical Botanical Garden and hear from tropical biodiversity experts. Another video from the island takes viewers on a virtual excursion through the archipelago, meeting various conservation specialists along the way. Plants Are Cool, Too is supported by the Botanical Society of America.
