Project details

Project title: Mobilization of reference specimens data on the Apocyaceae family owned by CNARP for conservation, sustainable use and decision making in Madagascar
Personnel: Stephan RAKOTONANDRASANA, Jaona RANAIVO, Herizo RANDRIAMBANONA, Roland RAKOTONDRAJAONA
Funding: The project is funded by the European Union through the BID program coordinated by GBIF.
