Our objective is to preserve the biological diversity of Canada's rare and endangered native plant species, wild habitats and ecosystems through the education and conservation programs of our members, including botanical gardens and arboreta.
Our Top Stories:Welcome to 2010 - International Year of Biodiversity12 January 2010 The UN has designated 2010 as "International Year of Biodiversity," or IYB. Around the world and across Canada, botanical gardens, arboreta and other museums and institutions are preparing celebrations, educational events and even new studies of biodiversity in response. Later in 2010 the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, or CBD, will be meeting in Nagoya, Japan for one of the most important summits on conservation and biodiversity ever held. On the agenda for the October 2010 Nagoya meeting, the GSPC, or Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, will reach the culmination of what has been a two year assessment and overhaul process. Following an in-depth review in 2008, the GSPC has been re-drafted and is now being reviewed by agencies, governments and specialists around the world.
