On December 6, 2024, the results of these pioneering projects were presented at Casa Ramón Power y Giralt in Old San Juan, showcasing innovative ways in which botany can shape our understanding of the past, present, and future. Meet the researchers and their projects below:
These five projects were selected from over forty proposals in a rigorous review process that narrowed the field down to sixteen finalists, ultimately leading to the five most promising studies receiving funding. Thanks to generous donations to the Institute of Botany of Para la Naturaleza, these researchers are pushing the boundaries of botanical science, conservation, and sustainable innovation.
This is just the beginning. As these studies unfold, their findings could transform the way we understand history, design cities, treat diseases, and interact with the natural world.
