Interesting visit to the National Herbarium of Tanzania @TPHPA_Official who have supported our students @NM_AIST 🙏. Big focus on digitising the collections atm - essentially entering label data into a laptop. Interesting guidance on dress code for staff. @KewScience @KewAfrica

Great to be in the forest with members of our community groups today. 5 threatened species found & a good understanding now of the difference between these and other species. Thanks to all for their participation. @KewScience @KewAfrica @UKBCFs #Diecke #Guinea

Two courses in plant ID completed! Great to see so much motivation & engagement across both courses. I think we also proved that #botany isn't for wimps! You have to persevere with a heap of terminology & characters. Congrats & thanks to the 41 participants who took part.

Et c'est fini! Félicitations à Bernard, Kolou, Oyé et Kaba qui ont gagné les prix! Aussi félicitations à toutes les participants pour leur engagement cette semaine. La botanique nest pas facile! @KewAfrica @mobotgarden @CharlotteCouch1 @UKBCFs @KewScience #IRAG
