Amazing algae

In honour of the International Day for Biological Diversity, discover the fascinating life of algae.

Specimen d’herbier d’une algue rouge, Phycodrys rubens (L.) Batters, recueillie par P.L. Crouan et H.M. Crouan en 1852 à Brest, en France

How do algae live under water, what is their role, what threats do they face? How do scientists classify them, and why and how we keep them in our herbarium?
During an afternoon in our Outreach Centre, our scientist Michelle Price will give you a unique glimpse into the algae collection of the Geneva Botanic Garden.
