Communicating conservation
A program to establish best practice parameters for public gardens in pursuing conservation and biodiversity, established by the Association, BGCI, and the United States Botanic Garden.
GET CUSTOMIZED REPORTS WITH REAL WORLD IMPACT
Reports on the five core topic areas: Leadership & Governance, Ex situ Conservation, In situ Conservation, Research & Expertise, and Education & Communication, will provide your garden’s leadership and stakeholders with quantifiable statements on plant conservation and biodiversity accomplishments and efforts. You can answer questions like:
- What is my garden doing for plant conservation, and how do we support international plant conservation strategies?
- What unique conservation contributions is my garden making in my region, budget size, country, and continent?
- Where is conservation capacity missing in my garden, region, country, and continent?
