Conferences AOA - ISEPP UCO Pacifique

Organized by AOA, this conference on the Polynesian forest is the first in a long series of exchanges on terrestrial biodiversity in French Polynesia.
Invasive plants represent a real threat to our forests. The negative impact of these species is already monumental, if not irreversible, but what can we do about it today?
this problem?
The conference will be led by 2 Polynesian scientists who, through their experience and concrete projects, will give an overview of the state of Polynesian forests and the issues involved in preserving them:
- Dr Jean-Yves Hiro Meyer, a field botanist, ecologist and biologist by training, will present the current status of forests in French Polynesia, their main threats and possible solutions for their conservation.
- Marie Fourdigniez, ecologist and botanist, will present the Mo'aroa valley restoration project led by AOA-Polynsian Forests and the results of the first actions.
Date: September 28
Location: ISEPP, Papeete

An action to control invasive species and restore the Polynesian forest was initiated by AOA-Polynesian Forests in March 2023 to enable the maintenance of trees and the return of native undergrowth.
