Instituto de Botanica Darwinion, Buenos Aires, Argentina

We have received some great Flip videos from one of our most respected Global Plants Initiative Partners (GPI), the Instituto de Botanica Darwinion of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Manuel Belgrano of the Instituto has been good enough to give us a tour of the facilities and introduce us to some of the staff that work there.

It was always one of the more explicit intentions of this project to show the enthusiasm and dedication that these herbaria operate with and Manuel shows that quite well. In this video, Manuel shows us the facilities and gives us a quick tour of the collections:

In this video, we learn about the history of the Instituto de Botánica Darwinion from Norma Deginani

Thanks to Manuel and Norma for taking the time to speak with us. More to come soon from the good people of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
