| SAVE THE SPECIES Our annual Save The Species campaigns connect donors to projects that combine sound science with hands-on conservation - both in habitat and in cultivation - turning a shared passion for palms into lasting global impact. Even after the campaign is over, our community stays involved—tracking progress, sharing news, and exchanging ideas with researchers on PalmTalk, our online forum. |
IPS is proud to support the World Palm Symposium 2026 in Singapore—a global gathering of researchers, conservation practitioners and horticulturists united to share the latest advances in palm biology, horticulture and stewardship. By helping to fund attendance for early-career scientists and professionals from under-resourced countries, we enable diverse voices to engage in major discussions, forge lasting collaborations, and bring fresh perspectives into conservation practice. |
