"It's important for us to understand that we are a part of nature, not apart 
from it, and that it's our responsibility to protect our world for future 
generations. So, we created a tool that encourages people to stop and explore 
the beauty and wonder of the world they live in," said Eric Ralls, Founder/CEO 
of PlantSnap. "By bringing people back to nature through the use of technology, 
PlantSnap helps both young and old feel like they are an integral part of this 
amazing planet. Together, we can help the world understand that we are stewards 
of the Earth, not owners."

PlantSnap not only reconnects people to nature but also creates a database of 
plants that provides useful information to hobbyists and professionals alike. 
PlantSnap is translated into 37 languages and currently used in over 200 
countries every day. With over 620,000 plants now in our database and 35 
million+ installs so far, PlantSnap has become THE go-to app for gardeners, 
hikers, landscape designers, teachers, students, foragers, and anyone who 
enjoys nature.

"At PlantSnap, we're reigniting interest in the beauty and wonder of nature and 
the amazing plant life that surrounds us every day, while empowering scientists 
and nature enthusiasts with the technology to catalog and share their 
discoveries," said Ralls. "What is most compelling about this integration of 
PlantSnap into Snapchat is that it gives us the opportunity to engage with 
Snapchat's 229 million daily active users, many of whom are part of Gen Z, in 
hopes of capturing their interest in plants while instilling into them an 
eternal love and respect for nature and the environment."

The scanned plant photo and naming result will be shown inside the Snapchat
