In situ and ex situ conservation techniques are numerous. The aim of this second session is, on the one hand, to make an inventory of these techniques, on the other hand, to give examples of projects in which they have been successfully applied and, finally, to put the participants in contact with specialists who could help train them or work on concrete examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SESSION 3 Networking, learning and communication<\/h4>\n

Chair<\/strong>: Pierre Carret, [short CV<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Scientific and technical aspects alone are not sufficient to ensure effective and sustainable conservation of the flora. The exchange of information and best practices between experts is essential. However, raising the awareness of all stakeholders and the general public is also crucial. Finally, finding funding for conservation projects is an ongoing challenge. This session will allow participants to learn more about these different subjects from specialists and to deepen their knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
