Coconut Ecomuseum: More than 1000 items and concepts about the coconut palm!

Be prepared for an extraordinary journey to the many lands of the coconut palm! You will discover a diversity that you could not even imagine. Currently, the nomenclature comprises 10 major themes and more than 150 sections (in English and in French). For each of these sections, it is possible to produce on request at least one large size HD poster (up to 180x100 cm in size). Some of these sections are so rich and diverse (for example the one on coconut scrapers) that it is possible to make three posters for a single section.

About 200 interesting posters describing various aspects of the coconut palm can be prepared ! Of course, a particular museum will not represent all the avalaible sections. The very wide choice offered allows to select the sections you wish to integrate into your museum. Below are mentioned the ten major themes of the classification, which point to dedicated pages. Still below is the complete classification with all links (English and French versions). We also start to prepare a documentation by country that is not yet included.

The work is not terminated, so missing information is indicated by a section title still written in asterisk (most missing is French version).

1000 stories about the coconut tree, choose randomly!

During the 35 years that I spent to work on the coconut tree, I produced approximately 1000 scientific papers or films. They are gathered in this drawing! Click randomly on it to see one or more. I ask for your indulgence, some papers are not finished yet (many in French), but I'm working on it!
