Plants and climate change:which future?In 2008 we published a major new report; 'Plants and climate change: which future'. The report details how plants and climate change are intimately connected, and explains why it is crucially important for us to act now to save the world’s plants. 
Conserving Europe's threatened plantsThe continuing loss of biodiversity in Europe is a major concern, with less than half protected species and habitats considered to be in favourable conservation status. Read BGCI's latest publication, launched at the 5th European Botanic Gardens Congress, Helsinki, Finland in June 2009.
