Save Our Species (SOS)

The Save Our Species program of the American Begonia Society was created by Rekha Morris to encourage its members to adopt one or more species, keep it / them growing in cultivation, and, by propagation, share them with others so that we do not lose species begonias altogether.

So many species including begonia species are no longer to be found in the wild, and the loss continues at an alarmingly rapid rate due to human depredation or natural catastrophes such as landslides.

To join the SOS program all you need do is to select a species or several to adopt & inform Rekha Morris at

shivavana@juno.com

A list of all those who have adopted a species will be posted soon!
