Botanical Science in Today’s World

“The New York Botanical Garden is an advocate for the plant kingdom…”

This excerpt from The New York Botanical Garden’s mission statement drives our ambition to continually reach for new heights—in discovering, understanding, and preserving biodiversity—in a world that is increasingly under environmental pressure, and whose future depends on momentous decisions based on rigorous scientific research.

The remarkable assets that the Garden brings to the scientific enterprise are documented in a newly published book. It presents the physical and human resources that together comprise one of the top science, research, education, and scholarly centers in the world, distinguished in scope, depth, authority, and excellence. In this book, you will be able to see, through the eyes of the Garden’s scientists, all of the ways we are working in concert to study and preserve the world’s botanical heritage—and to help ensure the future of life on Earth.
