Rich in its biodiversity, Martinique was also a source of inspiration for the poet, novelist and philosopher Edouard Glissant.
Today, the city of Lamentin is working to transmit this natural wealth and to apply this famous thought of Edouard Glissant “Act in your place and think with the world”.
Knowing the colors of nature, its sounds … digging out its traces … to touch the universal. A piece of the history of the island of flowers that has been passed down from generation to generation.
To honor and understand it, the City of Lamentin launched its biodiversity caravan yesterday (Monday, June 7, 2021) for an initiation route to biodiversity.
After the presentation of the IBR (Rapid Biological Inventory) book of the Cohé du Lamentin mangrove in Génipa bay on May 28, this is the new action carried out by the City of Lamentin on the theme of discovery and preservation of biodiversity.
