Resumo
The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) was established by the Conference of Parties in 2002 to
decrease the loss of plant diversity, reduce poverty and contribute to sustainable development. To achieve this
overarching goal, the GSPC has established a series of targets, one of which is to ensure that plant diversity is
well understood, so that it can be effectively conserved and used in a sustainable manner. Brazil hosts more
than 46,000 species of plants, algae and fungi, representing one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth, and
playing a key role in the GSPC. To meet the GSPC goals of Target 1 and facilitate access to plant diversity,
Brazil committed to preparing the List of Species of the Brazilian Flora (2008–2015) and the Brazilian Flora
2020 (2016–present). Managing all the information associated with such great biodiversity has proven to be an
extremely challenging task. Here, we synthesize the history of these projects, focusing on the multidisciplinary
and collaborative approach adopted to develop and manage the inclusion of all the knowledge generated though
digital information systems. We further describe the methods used, challenges faced, and strategies adopted, as
well as summarize advances to date and prospects for completing the Brazilian flora in 2020.
