Racing to Document the Flora of Rondônia
The Brazilian state of Rondônia is one of the most biodiverse areas of the Amazon with a wide range of habitat types and topography, but its flora is among the least documented and is under increasing threat from agricultural development, forest fires, and more. NYBG’s Douglas Daly, Ph.D., and his partners are leading a research project in the state, investing in training, institution-building, scientific exchange, and botanical exploration.
