Promoting the Work of Botanic Gardens in Saving World Flora

BGCI has worked with its members in a number of countries (Japan, Argentina, Mexico) to develop ‘National Botanic Garden’ days to promote their work to the public.

We have also helped Chinese and Southeast Asian gardens to produce promotional posters and have supported exhibitions in several countries.

We published a major report on the work of botanic gardens in using plant diversity to improve human well-being.

Through the news section of our website, we highlight important botanic garden conservation successes and we represent botanic gardens in many important fora.

We recently played a significant role in the in-depth review of the GSPC, recently carried out by the CBD Secretariat, particularly highlighting the role of botanic gardens in implementing the strategy.

The Role of Botanic Gardens in Plant Conservation

Botanic gardens play a key role in the conservation of the world's plant diversity and the education of people in environmental issues. BGCI facilitates this work through delivering publications, workshops, congresses, support and guidance. Together we are making plants, and thus life, more secure.
