In Singapore, this charitable association's mission is to transform the city into a garden. Created by the National Parks Board, it conducts actions to protect biodiversity and green spaces, taking care to involve local institutions. Its initiatives take the form of conservation, research, awareness and education programs.

A major producer of Nobel prizes and Fields medals, the CNRS has a gift for revealing talents and, more importantly, for furthering knowledge.

Our joint actions

We work together on an extensive project, the Great Green Wall, in Senegal.

Goal

To halt the desert's advance by planting desert date trees to create a green barrier that cuts across Africa from East to West.

Created in Senegal by the CNRS, OHMi's purpose is to study the impact of the plantations of the "Great Green Wall" project from an ecological, medical and social viewpoint.

The first four research topics had to do with desertification: water and soil // biodiversity // social systems // healthcare.

Our joint actions

It was the Great Green Wall project, to revegetate a wide strip of land across Africa, that brought us together for the Senegalese section, as this observatory was created in the context of that project.
