Message from the SANA president

Join us in Cape Town for the IGCA 2025 Congress, where stunning landscapes and iconic landmarks like Table Mountain await. This city is famed for its extraordinary biodiversity, including the Cape Floristic Region—the smallest and richest of the world’s six floral kingdoms. Home to over 9,000 plant species, two-thirds of which are found nowhere else on Earth, Cape Town offers a rare glimpse into one of the most diverse plant ecosystems globally.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant botanical heritage, participate in inspiring discussions, and collaborate on innovative solutions for a greener future. Experience Cape Town’s unparalleled natural beauty and sustainability in action at the IGCA 2025 Congress.
