Studying Plant Biodiversity from the Amazon to the Tropical Andes
About the project
The Madidi Project is a multi-institutional research effort lead by the Missouri Botanical Garden in association with the National Herbarium of Bolivia and other data-contributing collaborators. Running uninterrupted since 2001, the Madidi Project has generated an exceptional infrastructure to carry out research and capacity building in the U. S. and Bolivia.
The main goals of the Madidi Project are:
Exploration
To document and describe the flora of the Madidi region of north-western Bolivia
Biodiversity Research
To study the ecology and evolution of forest species and ecosystems
Capacity Building
To generate research and training opportunities for people of different educational backgrounds — from university students to people in local communities
