FLECHTEN...aber keine Zöpfe
Overview
Intro
In Switzerland, there are more than 1700 species of lichens, and worldwide there are about 25,000. Yet, we hardly notice most of them. More than half of all lichens are considered endangered today. Lichens are neither plants nor animals. But what are they then? And how can a lichen survive up to 40 years without water? Discover fascinating facts about these millions-of-years-old dual organisms, which can be found almost everywhere in an astonishing variety of forms and colors.
