BGCI-US and the Montgomery Botanical Center present findings of a 3-year, multi-institutional project to find the most effective ways to capture, steward and sustain plant diversity in botanic gardens. This 12-page guide summarizes the results and lessons learned from intensive review and novel genetic studies of this fundamental need.
We are grateful to the Institute of Museum and Library Services for supporting this project (MG-30-16-0085-16), and to a long list of participating gardens, zoos, associations, and individuals who participated in the research.
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.
BGCI is an independent organisation registered in the United Kingdom as a charity (Charity Reg. No. 1098834) and a company limited by guarantee (No. 4673175).
