Dear Ex situ Conservation Practitioners,

Please participate in a new survey on ex situ conservation data management and data sharing, intended for botanic gardens, arboreta, conservation nurseries, and similar organizations that are directly supporting species survival through their ex situ conservation work.

Results of this survey will support a book chapter on topics related to ex situ plant conservation data. The co-authors are grateful to the Center for Plant Conservation for administering this survey, and to Botanic Gardens Conservation International for assisting with its distribution.

The preferred deadline is June 30, 2026. This survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete, and responses will be securely stored.
