Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) 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 at least 25 percent of all plants.

To do this we support the development and implementation of global policy—specifically the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC)—at a global, regional, national and local level. We work in a catalytic way, through our secretariat in London and regional offices in the USA and China to deliver the objectives of the GSPC. In support of this objective we produce a range of resources and publications, organize regular international gatherings and develop a number of direct conservation programs. 

Our vision is a world in which plant diversity is valued, secure and supporting all life. To create this world our mission is: 

"To mobilise botanic gardens and engage partners in securing plant diversity
for the well-being of people and the planet".
