Science & Projects

Rigorous botanical research and applied science at the service of Haiti's biodiversity.

Our Approach

Science in the Field and the Lab

The Cayes Botanical Garden integrates field work, laboratory analyses, and technological tools to produce rigorous scientific data. This knowledge guides conservation decisions and supports public health initiatives in Haiti.

Botanical Surveys

Systematic floristic inventories to document plant species richness across Haiti's diverse ecosystems.

Taxonomy & Evolution

Species identification, classification, and phylogenetic studies to understand plant diversity and relationships.

Ecology

Study of ecosystems, species interactions, and habitat dynamics to guide conservation priorities.

Phytochemistry

Analysis of plant compounds to support medicinal applications, nutrition and pharmaceutical research.

Scientific Data

Structuring, publishing and sharing botanical datasets to support open science and policy decisions.

Collaboration

Partnerships with national and international research institutions to strengthen scientific capacity.
