BGCI: Education Centre The Botanic Gardens Conservation International is an international organization that exists to ensure the world-wide conservation of threatened plants, the continued existence of which are intrinsically linked to global issues including poverty, human well-being and climate change. BGCI represents over 700 members - mostly botanic gardens - in 118 countries. We aim to support and empower our members and the wider conservation community so that their knowledge and expertise can be applied to reversing the threat of extinction crisis facing one third of all plants.

Carnegie Institution at Stanford - Department of Plant Biology By creating the chemical energy essential for life from sunlight, and converting that energy into grasslands, swamps, forests and fields, plants constitute the foundation of our living environment. At the Department of Plant Biology, we investigate fundamental mechanisms of plant development and function by applying advanced methods in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, imaging and bioinformatics. The collaborative atmosphere and location at Stanford University with its dynamic scientific community offers researchers and students a special environment to engage in the discoveries that will help shape our future life on this green planet.
