CHABG works with Australian botanic gardens and other institutions to support and carry out research, collaborate with integrated conservation management, promote knowledge sharing and education about plants and plant communities and provide a forum to promote the diversity of work undertaken by botanic gardens.
The Australian Seed Bank Partnership (ASBP) is the principal conservation program of CHABG. Our management committee draws on the expertise of senior executives from Australia’s capital city botanic gardens who guide the strategic direction of the Partnership’s work to ensure it addresses national plant conservation priorities and contributes to international conservation targets.
Vision & Strategic Focus
The Partnership’s Vision is for a future where Australia’s native plant diversity is valued, understood and conserved for the benefit of all.
The Partnership’s Strategic Focus is to deliver a national effort that contributes to the conservation of Australia’s native plant diversity through collaborative and sustainable seed and germplasm collecting, banking and use, research, and knowledge sharing.
The Partnership will deliver this through four key outcome areas:
Outcome 1 – Growing our collections, research and restoration contributions
Outcome 2 – Growing our investments in our facilities and people.
Outcome 3 – Improving engagement and partnerships with Australia’s First Nations Peoples
Outcome 4 – Developing and sharing knowledge
