A multi-site project to safeguard Victoria’s rare and threatened plant species
With nearly 15% of Victoria's plant species classified as rare, conservation programs are critical to ensure Victoria's significant biodiversity is protected. In a collaborative project, the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria is building the capacity of regional botanic gardens to play an important conservation role for Victoria’s biodiversity, whilst building their readiness for projected climate change.
Care for the Rare has been created to safeguard rare and threatened Victorian plant species against extinction in the wild. The project provides thought leadership and a program of climate readiness events that integrate the Care for the Rare program and builds the capacity of regional Victorian Botanic Gardens to create conservation collections of rare plants indigenous to their local area.
Snapshot:
“The Care for the Rare program is unique in that it emphasises planting rare and threatened native species in climates that are similar to that where they naturally occur, giving them the chance to flourish.” The Hon. James Merlino MP, Deputy Premier of Victoria
