Building a global network - Kew's work in China & Central Asia
Kew's Millennium Seed Bank partnership - our projects in China and Central Asia
China is the third most biodiverse country in the world. It is home to over 30,000 plants and 10% of the world's fauna.
Kew's Millennium Seed Bank partnership – Kyrgyzstan
Over-exploitation and habitat loss are just two of the factors putting plant species at risk in Kyrgyzstan. Our aim in collecting and storing the seeds of threatened plants is to provide an insurance policy against their extinction in the wild.
