+# 🌱 Pl@ntNet — AI for Plant Biodiversity
+
+[Pl@ntNet](https://plantnet.org) is a collaborative citizen science platform combining artificial intelligence, biodiversity research, and community contributions to advance plant species identification and biodiversity monitoring.
+
+This Hugging Face organization hosts AI models developed within the Pl@ntNet research ecosystem.
+
+## Models and Resources
+
+Our models cover several complementary research directions:
+
+- **Self-supervised learning (SSL):** Large-scale vision models producing transferable image embeddings from plant imagery.
+- **Plant species identification:** Deep learning models for fine-grained plant species recognition.
+- **Species distribution modeling:** Deep learning approaches for predicting plant species distributions at high spatial resolution.
+- **Multimodal learning:** Models combining biodiversity observations, ecological context, and environmental data.
+
+## Open Science & Digital Commons
+
+Pl@ntNet promotes **open science and digital commons for biodiversity AI**. By sharing models and research resources, we aim to foster reproducibility, collaboration, and innovation in biodiversity research and conservation.
+
+Model weights, documentation, and licensing conditions are provided in the respective model repositories.
