Conservation at the University Botanical Garden of UEM

Situated in the heart of Maputo, the University Botanical Garden, spanning 5 hectares, is a sanctuary for Mozambican flora, relatively unknown to many. This project, supported by the Bio Card and led by the Faculty of Sciences at UEM, focuses on the protection of endangered species, with special attention to plants such as Warburgia salutaris, Encephalartos lebomboensis, and Encephalartos umbeluziensis, all listed in the Mozambique Red List. Over the course of two years, this project will not only promote the conservation of these species but also empower students and professionals in habitat restoration techniques and the cultivation of native plants.
