The English-born artist and botanical illustrator Margaret Mee was profoundly interested and awed by Brazil's wildlife and flora, and her contribution to the study and dissemination of information about the country's plant world was highly significant. As an artist, she garnered local and international recognition for the sensitivity and botanical accuracy of her watercolours. The constant degradation of the regions she visited on her travels around Brazil fortified her belief that the preservation of the environment depends, in large part, on the awareness and commitment of educators and leaders of opinion. Her dreams of participating in the preservation and research of Brazil's natural treasures only started to come true one year after her death (Introduction, Margaret Mee Botanical Foundation)
