Using spatial analyses and information on current conservation efforts and the vulnerability of wild populations, the project team developed an understanding of conservation needs for at-risk native U.S. oaks and identified 28 oak species of conservation concern. These results enable conservation practitioners to effectively direct limited resources to the species and populations most in need of action. The final report was published in 2019 and includes species-specific conservation recommendations for the 28 species of conservation concern.
Botanic Gardens Conservation International’s work aims to promote and develop a more efficient, cost effective and rational approach to plant conservation in botanic gardens. We will do this by leading and advocating, leading innovative and strategic projects, building plant conservation capacity, and providing funding.
