1 Botanic Gardens Conservation International The world s largest plant conservation network Encouraging botanic gardens to do more plant conservation: tools and approaches Dr Paul Smith, Secretary General, Botanic Gardens Conservation International
2 Diminishing plant diversity Joseph S. Venus 20% of plant species are threatened with extinction
3 Why plant diversity is important Plant-based solutions are required to address all of the major environmental challenges: Food security Water scarcity Energy Human health Biodiversity conservation Climate change
4 Why plant diversity is important Plant diversity enables human innovation, adaptation and resilience
5 The role of botanic gardens There is no technological reason why any plant species should become extinct
6 The role of botanic gardens Conservation, collections, research and education feature in most botanic garden mission statements and activities 80% of botanic gardens have Strategic Plans 65% of gardens have institutional measures of performance/success Botanic gardens are booming. The number of gardens has quadrupled over the last 30 years
7 The role of botanic gardens
8 The role of botanic gardens Top 10 institutional measures in botanic gardens (n = 119)
9 The role of botanic gardens Conservation: Specific conservation activities and impacts that a garden specialises in are rarely measured at the institutional level Research: Publications are frequently used as a surrogate for all research outputs Collections: 40% of gardens don t measure the use of their collections by third parties Education: 49% of gardens don t measure change of behaviour or attitudes amongst their visitors Specialist horticulture: 60% of gardens don t measure specific horticultural skills or specialisms.
10 A rational, cost-effective Global System The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation A review process (GPPC/BIP) A network of international institutions and ex situ collections (BGCI) A global portal of accession-level data (PlantSearch) A universal accessions information management system Advanced bioinformatics tools that allow users to mine characterisation data

21 A rational, cost-effective Global System: technical expertise
22 A rational, cost-effective Global System: collections PlantSearch: 1,342,972 collection records, representing 530,456 taxa, at 1,147 contributing institutions Estimated minimum proportion of total plant diversity in botanic gardens & arboreta: 93% of vascular plant families 57% of vascular plant genera 30% of vascular plant species 41% of threatened species are held in global ex situ collections Mounce, Smith & Brockington (2017). Ex situ conservation of plant diversity in the world s botanic gardens. Nature Plants (in press)
23 What we conserve well 62.8% of all flowering plants genera and 96.6% of conifer genera are conserved in botanic gardens
24 What we conserve well 60% of temperate species are conserved in botanic gardens
25 What we don t conserve well Only 25% of tropical species are conserved in botanic gardens
26 What we don t conserve well <5% of nonvascular genera (mosses, liverworts etc.)are conserved in botanic gardens Photo: Australian National Botanic Garden
27 What we don t conserve well Species that are technically difficult to grow Pilostyles thurberi (photo: D.L. Nickrent)
28 What we don t conserve well Lack of capacity. 82% of botanic gardens are located in the northern hemisphere Hydrostachys polymorpha (photo: D. Gwynne-Evans)
29 Threatened species At least 41% of known threatened species are conserved in botanic garden living collections and seed banks Threatened species are often harder to find and to grow However, only 10% of botanic garden collections capacity is dedicated to threatened plant species
30 Threatened species Eligmocarpus cynometroides (Madagascar). 12 trees remain. Pollinator unknown
31 Threatened species Leucadendron remotum (South Africa). Two populations. Threatened by seed predation
32 Threatened species Fernandoa abbreviata (Malawi). No seed set in 40 years. Pollinator unknown
33 Co-ordinate efforts: red listing ThreatSearch is the most comprehensive database of threat assessments for plants Geo-referenced global tree list complete and launched on BGCI website as GlobalTreeSearch hp RBG Kew Global Tree Assessment, co-ordinated by BGCI and the IUCN Global Tree Specialist Group, to be completed by 2020 Newton et al. (2015). Towards a Global Tree Assessment. Oryx doi: /s
34 Co-ordinate efforts: seed conservation 180 participating botanic gardens with seed banks RBG Kew
35 Co-ordinate efforts: tree conservation Zero tree species extinctions All critically endangered tree species conserved in situ and/or backed up in botanic gardens, arboreta or seed banks 72 species protected in
36 Integrated tree conservation Malawi s national tree, the Mulanje cedar (Widdringtonia whytei). Plots set up in 8 sites across Malawi to test optimal growing conditions. 10 community nurseries established around Mulanje Revenue generation selling seedlings.
37 Co-ordinate efforts: ecological restoration 30 participating botanic gardens, managing 158 projects Erica verticillata, extinct in the wild for 100 years. Successfully reintroduced in South Africa
38 Co-ordinate efforts: partnerships We need botanic gardens to: Take a lead in establishing consortia to systematically conserve and manage exceptional species in their living collections: Rhododendron, Magnolia, Fraxinus, Camellia, Acer, Nepenthes, orchids, dipterocarps, alpines etc. Duplicate their important conservation collections with other gardens Fill the gaps in living collections, prioritising wild origin rare and threatened species.
39 Knowledge hub: training In 2016 BGCI trained >300 people from 126 institutions and 30 countries in: seed conservation nursery techniques conservation horticulture forest restoration survey and inventory red listing public engagement plant health/biosecurity
40 Accreditation
41 Mobilising funding and resources BGCI funds projects and training all around the world, equivalent to ten times what it receives in subscriptions from its members. In 2016 BGCI provided funding and/or training to >160 botanical institutions on 6 continents
42 Mobilising funding and resources On June 25 th this year, BGCI s International Advisory Council met in Geneva. This global leadership forum comprises the Directors of 25 gardens from the USA, China, UK, Switzerland, Georgia, France, Russia, Singapore, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and South Africa. For the first time we have an effective, representative forum driving policy for our professional community.
