植物園, Botanical garden in Kaloum Peninsula, Guinea.
The Botanical Garden on the Kaloum Peninsula holds a collection of tropical plants, trees, and shrubs from Guinea and beyond. Paths wind through different sections displaying native species alongside plants from other regions.
The garden was founded in 1894 and became a major center for botanical research and plant conservation across West Africa. It played a key role in documenting and understanding the region's diverse plant life.
The garden offers visitors a chance to connect with Guinea's plant diversity and learn about species from different regions of the country. Schools and research groups regularly use the collections as a learning space to understand the ecosystems that shape the landscape.
The garden can be reached easily from Boulevard de l'Indépendance, with local taxis readily available from downtown Conakry. Most areas are accessible on foot and straightforward to explore.
The National Direction of Forests and Fauna operates its headquarters from within the garden and runs active research and protection programs there. This makes it more than just a public space—it functions as a working research center where real conservation work happens.
