The survival of up to 60,000 plant species - about a quarter of
the world's total - will be threatened over the next few decades
by population growth, deforestation, habitat loss, destructive
development and agricultural expansion. Botanic gardens can be
defined as public gardens which maintain collections of live
plants mainly for study; for scientific research, conservation or
education. Many different types of botanic gardens occur, large
and small. While their size and resources varies hugely, botanic
gardens are united in the belief of the important role that they
must play in preserving the world's plant diversity.
