The importance of saving the biodiversity of our planet

 Botanic gardens play a significant role in the preservation of biodiversity throughout the world. Myall Park Botanic Garden is part of this international network.

We promote awareness and education about the importance of flora and fauna diversity. This includes the need for ecosystem management to conserve and restore native plant and animal communities.   

Currently we are developing an invertebrate recovery project through the planting of species to provide shelter and food                 for threatened butterfly species and other invertebrates. Funded by the International Biodiversity Project, Western Australian Museum.

Our second current focus is to determine and encourage appropriate and sustainable use of native plants that have been documented as sources of food and supplies for indigenous Australians. We aim to develop research and experience-based models   for the conservation and sustainable use of such plants.

Thirdly we coordinate and promote data-sharing between botanic gardens and other like organisations to ensure that seed collection and species recovery programmes are linked and focussed.

Visit our Garden in person and see the wonderful work that is currently underway.

Focus: biodiversity including (1) the importance of birds as indicators of a healthy ecosystem and (2) children – our future.
