This transdisciplinary project, which has been running in Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Benin since 2020, aims to use knowledge of the extraction channels for three groups of useful forest palms (raphias, rotins and doums) to propose agro-ecological solutions (multiplication, nurseries, domestication) for the active conservation of these species, often overexploited, and their natural environments, under serious threat from deforestation and drainage.
This lecture is part of the Geneva Botanical Garden's "Conférences au vert" series.

On Thursdays from 6pm to 7.30pm, immerse yourself in the green atmosphere of the iconic Temperate Greenhouse, a picturesque setting for botanical lectures in total immersion! Renowned guests or in-house staff will share their knowledge with you and open up the debate.
Free to all, no registration required.
