In his work as a botanist he has collected plants in all 50 states of the United States of America, as well as several additional countries. Atha's work is focused on three areas: "floristics—what plants grow in a particular region; taxonomy—how to tell one plant from another, what to call it and what it's related to; and applied botany—how plants are used for food, medicine, shelter and other useful purposes."[2] Atha is a prominent regional botanist, and the high-profile botanical projects with which has been involved (such as the recent Spontaneous Flora of Central Park project) have garnered national and international attention. CareerNew York Botanical GardenDaniel Atha is the Director of Conservation Outreach at New York Botanical Garden. Atha is involved in work related to invasive plants in the greater-New York City region, including Westchester County.[2] Atha is also the Associate Editor for Brittonia. New York City EcoFloraThis project, in the prototyping phase through 2017, is designed to engage New York city residents in protecting and preserving New York City's native plant species. The project aims to use citizen scientists to gather and organize data related to plants, animals, fungi, and habitats in the region. These data will then be synthesized with existing historic natural history collections and scientific publications. "The New York City EcoFlora will be a real-time, online, ongoing checklist of plants—the first ever to connect plants in the web of life in New York City—that will result in a dynamic resource for conservation planning as well as in New Yorkers that are better informed about the importance of urban ecologies and who can contribute to protecting them."[3] Flora of Central ParkOne of Atha's research projects involves documenting and collecting every naturally occurring plant in Central Park. This project represents a collaboration between The New York Botanical Garden, the Central Park Conservancy and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The aims of this project are to document the wild flora of Central Park, and to provide an up-to-date botanical inventory "to aid on-going restoration, conservation, education and recreation programs and to document the flora for scientific, ecological and conservation studies."[4] The quote below comes from an interview Atha gave to The New York Times in 2015[5] {{Quote|text="We thought, 'Wow, Central Park is right in the middle of New York City, in the densest urban metropolitan region in North America,{{' "}} recalled Mr. Atha, who has studied plants in all 50 states, as well as Bolivia, Russia and Vietnam. {{" '}}And yet there is nobody documenting the flora today. How crazy is that?{{' "}}}}Emerging Invasive: Corydalis incisaAtha and others at the New York Botanical Garden and Lower Hudson PRISM coordinate a team of citizen scientists to document and remove Corydalis incisa,[6] an emerging invasive species found along the Bronx River in Westchester County, NY and Bronx County, NY.[7][8] ArtAtha's parents were artists,[9] and he has been involved in several community projects related to the intersection of botany and art.[9] Selected bibliographyThis list has been generated with information from Daniel Atha's staff profile page on the New York Botanical Garden website.
