Building Botanical Bridges

The Botanical Bridges Congress coordinated by the Caribbean and Central American Botanic Gardens Network aims to foster collaboration among botanical gardens, botanic garden enthusiasts, and research centers interested in the Caribbean and Central American region. Together we explore issues and exchange ideas about how botanical gardens play a leading role in plant conservation and taxonomy, sustainable development goals, and climate change adaptation and mitigation.

The network aims to foster collaborative ‘bridges’ among botanic gardens, botanic garden enthusiasts, and research centers interested in the Caribbean and Central American region. The biannual Botanical Bridges Congress promotes the exchange of experiences and innovations in conservation, education, and research to solve common challenges faced by Caribbean and Central American botanic gardens and associated plant conservation institutions.
