James Amponsah (FORIG) and Iain Darbyshire in the Kew herbarium
We’re really keen to get going with Important Plant Areas in #Ghana, it was great to meet James visiting Kew from the Forestry Research Institute #FORIG and to hear his enthusiasm for getting started on #TIPAs @rbgkew.bsky.social

Intro post: I am a botanist at Kew working on plants in West Papua with partners from BRIDA and UNIPA. I am interested in how to conserve endemic and threatened plants as part of Kew's Tropical Important Plant Area program #TIPAs
