This is what cloud forests in the tropics could look like. We need to urgently conserve them for our future. Bahoruco Oriental, Dominican Republic. #GlobalTreeSeedBank #MSBPartnership @rbgkew.bsky.social @clarecallow.bsky.social @yolandaleon.bsky.social @dcacostarojas.bsky.social

Last week, despite heavy rain, the LATAM Team of the MSBP visited a population of old trees of the Endangered Magnolia hamorii in East Bahoruco, with the aim of collaborating with local partners for its protection. @rbgkew.bsky.social @clarecallow.bsky.social #GlobalTreeSeedBank #MSBPartnership

The seedlings of Magnolia hamorii were propagated by Fundación Progressio as part of joint efforts to safeguard cloud forests, threatened habitats that are key to mitigate climate change. #GlobalTreeSeedBank #MSBPartnership @rbgkew.bsky.social @clarecallow.bsky.social @yolandaleon.bsky.social
