Undergraduates from Peruvian universities collecting plant specimens during an MBG internship program based in Peru’s Selva Central |
The Missouri Botanical Garden’s capacity building programs take a multi-tiered approach to training for people of several different educational backgrounds — from professional botanists and conservationists to university students and recent graduates to people in rural communities. These programs provide a range of formal and non-formal training. Their goal is to provide opportunities for professional development, raise the level of education in biology and related fields, increase the number of individuals qualified to conduct field research and conservation planning and implementation, and develop knowledge and skills in rural communities that will improve the lives of residents.
