Channel: GrassTube
Date: 15/10/2020

A botanical research journey across Madagascar, compiled from Maria’s experiences working with colleagues at the Kew Madagascar Conservation Centre, and field photographs from ten years of research. This talk was written for a non-specialist British audience and aims to show the reality of botanical research in Madagascar, and explain what makes it so different to studying British plants in the UK.

This talk was given by Maria Vorontsova to the South London Botanical Institute (https://www.slbi.org.uk) on 21 July 2020. It is loosely based on this paper: https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ppp3.10123
