Thank you to everyone who took part in the voting!
Very soon, the names of the most active participants will be announced — they will receive the promised incentive gifts.
A reminder: the aim of this educational campaign is to select symbolic species each year and draw public attention to their habitats, raise awareness about their conservation, and enhance the public’s appreciation of lichens and mushrooms.
There will be regular posts, discussions, and interesting materials about these species throughout the year.
