BGCI launch ‘ThreatSearch’


 Botanic Garden Conservation International’s (BGCI) new database – ThreatSearch – the most comprehensive database of conservation assessments of plants.  It contains over 242,000 conservation assessments, representing over 150,000 taxa.

ThreatSearch lists global, regional and national conservation assessments for plants, from a variety of sources with the aim of being a one-stop shop for finding conservation assessments for plants. Together with our two main collaborators – the National Red List and the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew  we have assembled currently available conservation assessments into a single list. 

ThreatSearch can be used to measure progress towards several targets of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation.
