Learning to benefit from special plants
A special three-day learning programme was held last week as part of
the ongoing project in Seychelles by the non-government organisation
(NGO) Wildlife Clubs of Seychelles to conserve medicinal and
traditional food plants. The learning programme is called Conservation
of Traditional Food Crops in Home and School Gardens, and the venue was
the Plant Genetic Resources Unit of the Ministry of Environment and
Natural Resources, at Grand Anse, Mahe. It was attended by about 30
leaders of Wildlife Clubs from Mahe, Praslin, La Digue and Silhouette,
and run by a team of expert local trainers.
