NPTVI participate in Botanical Bridges Congress, Cartagena, Colombia

Deputy Director Nancy Pascoe and Senior Terrestrial Warden Keith Grant are in Cartagena, Colombia this week with Dr. Colin Clubbe of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew attending the Botanical Bridges Congress.

The team are sharing information about two Darwin Plus funded projects (DPLUS 183 & 196) that are researching plant genetics and using this data for reforestation projects and conservation planning.

The visit included a day at the Jardin Botánico "Guillermo Piñeres" which houses a collection of more than 300 plant species of the Colombian tropical dry forest and ornamental plants from other tropical regions of the world. It also includes one of the last remaining virgin native forests in the region.

The old city of Cartagena de Indias is a UNESCO site and is a beautiful place of great art and culture.

Really enjoyed going through this! It’s always interesting to see different perspectives and the value people bring to their work. Reminds me that, just like finding the Best Elementary School in West Virginia, it’s all about discovering the right fit and environment where growth truly happens. Thanks for sharing this — looking forward to exploring more on this topic!
