Description: The objective of enhancing data on flora and habitats and raising awareness of the conservation of endangered species yielded notable results. The establishment of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for Flora and Habitats, administered through the MadinFlora online application by CBN Martinique, was successfully achieved, facilitating data collection and consultation on floristics throughout the territory. However, the creation of Neo-populations of Tanaecium crucigerum and sensitisation of local actors and the public proved partially successful, with three neo-populations established but challenges in mobilising concerned municipalities. Despite this, the project significantly contributed to flora conservation, increasing the number of known Tanaecium crucigerum stations. Social benefits included the creation of an exhibition for biodiversity and flora conservation events, offering future opportunities for outreach beyond the project scope. Stakeholder engagement varied, with strong commitment from CBN Mascarin and support from DEAL Martinique, while municipal engagement varied across municipalities. Lessons learned highlighted the importance of better anticipation of unforeseen challenges, early project initiation, and leveraging existing partnerships for future projects, aiming for smoother implementation despite external disruptions.
