The associations formed a partnership to address how North American botanical gardens can contribute to the targets set forth in the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) issued by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity in 2002.
The Strategy has the following goals which parallel those of the GSPC:
- Understanding and documenting plant diversity
- Conserving plant diversity
- Using plant diversity sustainably
- Promoting public awareness of the importance of plant diversity and the wise use of resources
- Building capacity for conservation of plant diversity
The Strategy will help guide North American botanic gardens in their conservation efforts over the next few years.
