Extinct plants in the herbarium of the Geneva Botanic Garden

Mi., 9. Sept. 2026, 14:00–16:00
Since 1750, around 600 plant species have disappeared forever from the wild due to the destruction of their natural habitats.
Some are preserved in our herbarium, silent witnesses to a tragic history that places humanity at the heart of the sixth mass extinction.
How can we describe the extinction of these species? What can we do to halt it?
