On October 26 and 27, PonDerat staff went to Ventotene to meet people and tell them about the actions that will take place in the near future. There were several opportunities to listen to the opinions of the citizens, including an official meeting in the Council Room. Our botanists explained to the people the reasons why it is necessary to eradicate the Hottentot Fig, helping residents to find alternative and beautiful plants for their gardens. For the occasion, a flyer was developed and distributed.

These two days were also the occasion to shoot several videos and to record interviews, which will be used to realize important tools to communicate the project and its aims to the public.
