Festival of Nature

Lecture on the subject "Safeguarding our plant heritage also involves the test tube" with Frédéric Sandoz, Botanist

Herbaria, wild seed banks, mapping: solutions to be explored to preserve and promote living things.

While preserving the diversity of plant species primarily involves protecting the natural environments to which they belong, their survival in the environment cannot always be guaranteed. In such cases, seed banks are particularly valuable as a place to stay while waiting, perhaps, for a reintroduction project.

At this conference, you'll learn more about seed conservation methods, the different roles of a seed bank and the treasures of genetic resources they house.

The thirteenth Fête de la Nature takes place from 22 to 26 May 2024.
