The Australian Seed Bank Partnership is an alliance of 12 organisations, bringing together expertise from Australia’s leading botanic gardens, state environment agencies and NGOs. Governed by The Council of Heads of Australian Botanic Gardens Inc., we are working on strategic solutions to deal with the multitude of threats facing our biodiversity.
Collecting and storing seed in seed banks is one of the most powerful ways to combat the global decline of plant diversity.
Seed banks offer an insurance policy against the further loss of plant species.
The Partnership unites the expertise of twelve institutions, including botanic gardens, herbaria, state environmental agencies and non-government organisations.
The Australian Seed Bank Partnership relies on generous donors and supporters to continue our important work and achieve our vision for a future where Australia’s native plant diversity is valued, understood and conserved for the benefit of all.
