United States > Welcome to BGCI U.S.
Welcome to BGCI U.S.BGCI and its member organizations work individually and collectively through BGCI's global plant conservation network to create a world in which plant diversity is valued, secure and supporting all life. They are joined by a host of individual members and donors that help make BGCI's global plant conservation efforts possible. Click here to join in BGCI's work to save the world's plants. Botanic gardens and partner organizations in the United States make important contributions to plant conservation efforts both in their own neighborhoods and around the world (click here to read more). BGCI's network of botanic gardens and conservation organizations in the United States began from 12 founding members in 1993, and has now grown to over eighty members strong.
