ABOUT OUR CONGRESS
2022 Botanical Bridges Congress
Botanical Bridges Caribbean and Central America 2022 will bring together gardens from around the region to 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 collaboration ‘bridges’ among botanic gardens, botanic garden enthusiasts, and research centers interested in the Caribbean and Central American region. The 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 research institutions.
The first Botanical Bridges Congress took place in Panama City, in 2016. This was the starting point of The Caribbean and Central American Botanic Garden Network. The second took place in Havana, Cuba, in 2018. The third was due to take place in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in 2020 but unfortunately was not possible due to the emergence of Covid 19.
This year’s congress will be hosted in Eleuthera, The Bahamas by the Leon Levy Native Plant from November 14th - 18th, 2022.
