Provide training and experience sharing in the field of plant conservation. Enable botanists, researchers, project managers and students within CEPF grants to participate at this event, in person and virtually, representing their projects from around the Mediterranean. This project will facilitate the presence of these individuals, through logistical support and funding, and guidance throughout the event. Facilitate sharing knowledge and technical experience amongst botanists. Showcase the impact data of CEPF plant conservation projects at a side event, in order to broaden the understanding of plant conservation progress and challenges at a regional level, and reflect on the role of civil society on plant conservation.
