WHERE Guinea
Summary
Guinea has 275 globally red-listed threatened plant species, including 80 unique to Guinea. A lack of knowledge of these species at national level restricts effective conservation. National capability to collect field data, identify and analyse plant species data is minimal. Seed collection of threatened and socioeconomic species for propagation in village nurseries has started, but scaling up is limited by seed availability. Reinforcement of capacity and capability is needed to enable wider access to data, seed and plants for reforestation.
