The upward striving tulip (Tulipa anadroma Botschanz.), which is endemic to Kyrgyzstan, has reached the finals of a contest aimed at selecting rare and endangered species.
This contest is organized by the Indianapolis Zoo in the USA, and the initiative for the tulip's participation was taken by the Group of Wild Tulip Specialists of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
In the previous stages of the contest, our tulip received about 10,000 votes, allowing it to secure a place in the finals.
The editorial team of VB.KG expresses gratitude to readers for their active participation, which has helped Kyrgyzstan advance in the international competition.
Voting for the finalist starts today at 19:00 and will last until 10:00 on April 4. You can participate in the voting through this link.
Everyone will be able to vote once a day, and support is also available through a QR code and the project's Instagram page.
Experts urge all Kyrgyz citizens not to miss the opportunity to support this unique symbol of our country's nature in the finals.
