The adoption of a Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) in 2002 and its subsequent renewal in 2010 were significant milestones for the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Extinction rates are expected to increase during the Anthropocene. Current extinction rates of plants and many animals remain unknown.

The restoration of trees remains among the most effective strategies for climate change

The format of this edited volume offers each of the three communities (natural history museums, botanical gardens, zoological gardens) the opportunity to present their cutting-edge research and communications outreach activities.

Maintaining a living plant collection is the most common method of ex situ conservation for plant

Ash tree species in North America are under mortal threat from the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), now in 35 states and five Canadian provinces.

The Red List of US Oaks report details for the first time the distributions, population trends, and threats facing all 91 native oak species in the U.S.

Botanic gardens conserve plant diversity ex situ and can prevent extinction through integrated conservation action. Here we quantify how that diversity is conserved in ex situ collections across the world’s botanic gardens.

Oaks are critical to the health and function of forest and shrubland habitats in the United States, but many native oaks are threatened with extinction in the wild.

Botanic gardens play major roles in plant conservation globally.
