New Botanical Research Center to be built on Kauai
Construction on a new 21 (m) million dollar Botanical Research Center is expected to begin in January.
The 20-thousand-foot center will house the National Tropical Botanical Garden's extensive preserved plant collection and botanical library.
Director Charles R ``Chipper'' Wichman says this will be the organization's fifth garden -- three are on Kauai, one on Maui and one in South Florida.
Wichman says the gardens will help preserve the botanical heritage of Hawaii and the Pacific.
He says they will help save ecosystems, endangered species and cultural knowledge.
Hawaii has more endangered species -- most of which are plants -- than any other state.
The building will be completed by the end of 2007.
