Conference - Ethiopia’s Green Treasures
This talk is organized in collaboration with the NGO 'Regards d'Enfants d'Ethiopie' to mark the centenary of the diplomatic visit of Ras Teferi Mekonnen to Luxembourg. Ras Teferi Mekonnen, later known as Haile Selassie I, was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974, a period of major political upheaval and international change. Odile Weber will discuss the beauty of Ethiopia's plants, both wild and cultivated, and their importance to the future of urban life.
Speaker: Odile Weber, curator of the Naturmusée's plant and fungus collections, has conducted fieldwork and taught herbarium techniques in the Republic of the Congo and remote parts of Ethiopia. Her publications include a monograph on the woody vegetation between the Ethiopian highlands and the Nile Valley's lowlands and a perspectives paper in Nature Sustainability titled "Adapting wild biodiversity conservation approaches to conserve agrobiodiversity."
