Alpine Center for Phytogeography (Jean-Marcel Aubert Foundation)

The Foundation was established in 1967 through the joint efforts of the City of Geneva, the State of Neuchâtel, and Mr. Jean-Marcel Aubert. In 2008, the State of Valais and the Municipality of Orsières took over its management. The Alpine Center for Phytogeography (the Foundation’s scientific branch) was created in 1991 with support from the Canton of Valais and the Municipality of Orsières. In 2019, a collaboration agreement was signed between the Flore-Alpe Alpine Botanical Garden and the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Lausanne (UNIL).
