IUCN Commission Statement on the role of botanic gardens, aquariums, and zoos in species conservation
The IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) recognises that botanic gardens, aquariums and zoos are not the only types of institutions that manage animals, fungi and plants ex situ. However, while botanic gardens, aquariums and zoos can, and do, contribute significantly to species conservation, this role is often under-valued, underrecognised and misunderstood.
