Botanic Gardens: Finding Solution for Genetic Resources Conservation and Global Environment Sustainability
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
The ex-situ methods of biodiversity conservation although a complex task to preserve a species away from its natural environment, can play a significant role to re-establish the genetic heritage in an appropriate environment. The changing global environment scenario and effort for conservation of rare and endangered species is a great challenge in front of green policymakers, and at this critical juncture botanic gardens can take an initiative in the collection of threatened plant species and reintroduce them back in their native habitats. The selection of plant species is an important and foremost step in establishing botanic gardens, as the rate of success is guided by certain criteria, including legal commitment and responsibilities, success percentage, preservation and storage, economy, degree of threat, local and regional socio-political issues and other limitations. The understanding and finding reasons that brings rarity to the plant species and application of effective scientific techniques of germplasm storage should be given focus under this conservation programme. Moreover, botanic garden as a center of education can bring awareness in the community and plays an important role in conservation of phyto-diversity.
