Our Mission...The mission of the Canadian Botanical Conservation Network is to aid organizations and individuals in Canada that are concerned with the conservation of the diversity of plant life, such as botanical gardens, arboreta, universities, government agencies and others to realize their potential to contribute to the conservation of biological diversity. By facilitating the exchange of information among the professional community engaged in botanical conservation, the Canadian Botanical Conservation Network increases the effectiveness of the many efforts being made to protect and conserve our natural and cultivated botanical heritage. By developing educational materials and seeking to raise public awareness of the value of plants and the need for their conservation, the Canadian Botanical Conservation Network contributes to the public understanding of the role of plant conservation to the future of a sustainable society. By leading cooperative research and practical projects that engage the capabilities, ideas and objectives of participating organizations, the Canadian Botanical Conservation Network directly contributes to the implementation of Canada's Biodiversity Strategy and the international Botanic Gardens Conservation Strategy. Through communication, education and practical projects in plant conservation, the Canadian Botanical Conservation Network promotes the conservation of endangered or rare plants, plants that constitute important cultural, historic or economic genetic resources, and the ecosystems and habitats that sustain them.
