Summary
[edit]DescriptionJardim Botânico de Coimbra (Portugal) (66596671).jpg |
Iniciado em 1774, integrado na Reforma Pombalina da Universidade, o Jardim Botânico seguiu um projecto do arquitecto William Elsden e dos professores de História Natural Domingos Vandelli e Dalla Bella. O Jardim é uma ilha dentro da cidade, mas é sem sombra de dúvida o seu valor científico que o torna incomparável. Além de constituir um local de nidificação de espécies raras no resto do país, é internacionalmente reconhecido pelos vastos estudos que tem realizado sobre a flora: a comprová-lo as várias estufas e a Mata, constituída por inúmeras espécies de árvores exóticas, a maior parte resultante de uma constante permuta de sementes entre as várias instituições botânicas. Aliás o Jardim dispõe de um Banco de Sementes e de um Herbário. Existem árvores originárias de todo o globo, graças ao micro-clima deste espaço, o que torna um passeio no Botânico uma volta ao mundo mesmo ao alcance dos nossos pés. Em 1994, foi ainda introduzido, com êxito, o esquilo castanho que já faz hoje parte do ecossistema do jardim. Desde 2000, o Jardim Botânico de Coimbra oferece ainda uma nova volta ao mundo. Trata-se do Jardim das Descobertas: são uma centena de espécies, obtidas por duplicação, a partir dos Jardins Garcia da Horta, projecto integrante da Expo 98. O jardim segue o percurso outrora realizado pelos navegadores Portugueses. <a href="http://www.turismo-centro.pt/espaco/ver.php?id=33">www.turismo-centro.pt/espaco/ver.php?id=33</a> A visit to the Botanic Garden is like travelling around the planet earth without setting foot outside of the city. The plant collections which occupy every corner of the Garden take us on a journey to distinct latitudes and regions of the world, thus transforming the Garden into a live museum. Located in the heart of the city of Coimbra since 1772, when it was founded by the then prime-minister Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (Marquis of Pombal), the Botanic Garden covers a total area of 13 ha. of land, most of which donated by Benedict monks. Botanic gardens developed in Europe largely as a result of 15th century maritime expansion, as in coming into contact with exotic plants and animals the Europeans became interested in the study hereof. Garcia da Orta, for example, throughout his journeys to India, dedicated himself to the study of medicinal plants and published two relevant essays. The 18th century featured a revolution of minds and significant scientific progress, particularly in the field of Medicine. Coimbra Botanic Garden, therefore, developed in view of complementing Natural History and Medicinal Studies. Naturalists and botanists produced several scientific publications, namely Flora Lusitana by Avelar Brotero (1804) on Portuguese flora. This Portuguese researcher founded the first practical school for Botanical Studies. The seeds bank and associated seeds catalogue (Index Seminum), published in 1868 and updated annually up until today, include several Portuguese and exotic varieties, whereby we have managed to preserve several endangered species. In this way the Garden has played an innovative role in nature conservation. In educational terms, Coimbra Botanic Garden promotes environmental and cultural programmes, by raising the awareness of environmental issues and promoting civic behaviour. The Garden provides a peaceful and inviting atmosphere, filled with secrete corners ready to be discovered. Internacional Membership The Botanical Garden of the University of Coimbra is a member of Associação Ibero-Macaronésica de Jardins Botânicos and of Botanical Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) <a href="http://www.uc.pt/en/jardimbotanico">www.uc.pt/en/jardimbotanico</a><a href="http://loc.alize.us/#/flickr:66596671">See where this picture was taken.</a> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/geotagging/discuss/72157594165549916/">[?]</a> |
