RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Biodiversity research and conservation are at the heart of an ambitious programme of research and conservation horticulture at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The main themes of our Science & Biodiversity Strategy are:

• Discovery science to understand plants and fungi

• Exploring biodiversity and ecosystem change

• Enabling the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity

• Conserving and developing our collections as a global resource

• Sharing biodiversity knowledge and skills through education and training

Our work is driven by collaboration, working with partner organisations worldwide to answer the fundamental and urgent questions about Earth’s biodiversity and how best to conserve it.
