Papatia Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Sina-Issire, Northern Benin.
The garden extends across 12 hectares of savanna land, containing more than 100 woody plant species and numerous herbaceous plants within its protected zones.
Established in 2001 as the first botanical garden in Northern Benin, the project emerged through collaboration between local Fula people and academic institutions.
The garden maintains a traditional medicine pharmacy where local plant knowledge and healing practices continue through generations of community wisdom.
Visitors can explore the tree nursery, ecological sites, and information center while learning about plant species and conservation methods.
The garden's success led to the creation of twenty additional protected areas through the Development Network of Community Nature Reserves.
