Limbe Botanic Garden

A case study of how botanic gardens can support forest conservation, and approaches to long-term financing for conservation centres in Africa. Limbe Botanic Garden is used to demonstrate the cycle of neglect and rehabilitation that has affected many botanic gardens in Africa, and highlight the role they can play in supporting conservation. A strategy is proposed to ensure their future survival and to increase their contribution to the conservation of remaining African rainforests.
