Botanic gardens to restore the wild
Ecological restoration and the role of botanic gardens
Botanic gardens have long played a crucial role in documenting plant diversity and supporting efforts to protect it. Now, in the face of massive loss of biodiversity and accelerating climate change, it is clear that the repair and restoration of damaged plant communities - the bedrock of habitats - is needed more than ever before.
With the unique combination of scientific and practical plant-based skills in botanic gardens, they are ideally placed to support a new surge in restoration science and management.
