Project description

A herbarium plays in an important role in research and capacity building on plant diversity and conservation. To provide a reference for botanical research we have already started in phase II to establish a regional lichen and bryophyte herbarium in the National Museum of Kenya/Nairobi and Makarere University as a local reference data bank for future biodiversity assessment.
