Breathing Planet Programme Strategy 3 - Help for habitats
Kew is helping to implement global plant and fungal conservation programmes, such as the creation of new, sustainably managed areas, through established and new partnerships, in countries richest in diversity and geographical extent of remaining wild vegetation.
This strategy refers specifically to in-situ conservation: where Kew takes action on the ground, with partners, to conserve wild plants in areas where they are threatened.
