La ilustración botánica como herramienta de divulgación científica en el Tropicario del Jardín Botánico de Bogotá

Abstract

The present work was given within the framework of the internship with the Botanical Garden of Bogotá, more specifically in the Tropicario. The main objective of the work was to implement the botanical illustration exercise as a tool for the divulgation of scientific knowledge, contributing to the appropriation of Colombian biodiversity. In the midst of this implementation, two botanical illustration workshops entitled Art and Conservation were held with a total of 50 participants. Likewise, an illustrated catalog was prepared with 5 species present in the living collections of the Tropicario in order to publicize some species in the category of threat and their importance.
