Association Chambeyronia - New Caledonia

Association Chambeyronia, formed in 1992, currently has a project in Province Sud (D.R.N) with the intention to create a “Palmetum” in the park of the Rivière Bleue (Blue River). The palmetum will contain most of the local palm species. It will be good for tourism, as well as assisting and supporting a working environment for botanists, researchers and students to observe and study the Caledonian palms without having to travel many kilometers, without the need to penetrate the fragile forests and botanic reserves, thus avoiding pollution of the environment. Association Chambeyronia is contemplating a similar operation in Province Nord.
