Due to anthropogenic pressures, threatened and endangered species are ranked by the IUCN. However, entire groups of plants are still not well-known and new taxa are still being discovered, and Malagasy education is too theoretical and imaginary. Also, the population’s dependence on medicinal plants, through their daily use to prevent covid-19, has been noted. These are the reasons for the creation of the innovative botanical garden; a garden with the involvement of 3Ps and the local population. The aim is to demonstrate human dependence on traditional medicinal plants as well as new uses of plants, in order to strengthen their conservation, economy and sustainable development. This dependence is based on cultural, cosmetic and pharmacopoeia plans as well as conservation. Based on historical data, a survey of medicinal plants used to prevent Covid-19 was conducted in July 2020 through investigations of the population of Mahajanga and its periphery. Lists of plants, including those extracted for essential oil, are highlighted, with scientific information about them added. The connection of a garden with a dense dry forest, restored with two endemic plants and their essential oil, is provided. Thus, the Mahajanga Botanic Garden and University Forest could be key to understanding bioeconomy. To demonstrate innovation and address climate change, the creation of virtuous bioeconomy projects for sustainable institutional development and partnership is studied.
