H('nce. conservation of plant diversity a,slImes grealer importance ..... hen the world is facing unprccc(]cntcd loss of biological diversity.

The importance of ex'5im conservation of plantS is recognitcd by lhe International Con.enlion on Biological D i "~rsil)' (CBD) as on important loul fOf conservation of threatened plants. The Botanic G,udcns and oth~r plant conservation c~ntres in the world thu, pla~ a very crucial role as centers for rescue. rt'<.'Ovcry and rehabilit,lIion of threatcned pl~nts and other valuable plant genetic resourees.

Botanic gardens undertake rcse~reh on a variety of subjects ran!;in!; from plan! taxonom~. cc()log~ to breading s~'tem,. BOIanic gardens are also invol,'ed in development of propagation and cullivmion methods for plant which have n,,,'Cr been in cultivation. Thi. is a critical input for species reco,'cry programme and reintroduction of plants into the wild.

Botanic gardens also pla~ an important role in promoting cnvironmcntal awarencss and su'tainable living through their education and envi ronmental conservation programmcs b~ involving local communities. visilOrs and students.

RL'Cognizing the role of botanic gardens as ce!l1n:s of conservation for threatened plant species a, also a medium for ,pr~ading ~onservation education and awarenc". the Ministry of Environment and Forests has been ,upporting various existing botanic gnrden~ IK'fO>, the COUniry to augment their infrastnJctural facilities for undenaking ex·silu conservation of threatened plam species and al,o extending support to idemified bomnic garden~ to develop them imo lend garden' for undenaking fl:scarch and also guiding the smaller botanic gardens in the area of eoT'sim cunservation of threatened plant species,

1. INTRODUCTION

ConSlirvation of plant diversity assumes greater importance when the wood is faong unprecedented loss of biological diversity. It is es~mated that about 60.000 out of 2.87.655 species of plants known in the wood are faong the threat of extinction. As per the revised 1994 IUCN Red List Categories. out of 11 .824 species whk:h were evaluated for their threat status. 8321 species are now on the IUCN Red Ust 2004 (Govaerts, 2002: IUCN, 2(04). Oklfield ef al. (1998) reported that over 7.300 tree species are globally threatened and about 1665 of these threatened species are maintained In different Botank: Gardens (8Gs) of the world (Jackson, 2002). Theru are over 1600 Botanic:; Gardens (8Gs) and arboreta located in about 148 countries and they together maintain over 4 million living plant belonging to more than 80.000 species of vaSC1.llar plants. The Botanic Gardens and other plant conservation centres in the world thus playa very crucial role as centers for rescue. recovery and rehabihtatiOl1 of threatened plants and other valuable plant genetic resources. The BGs also play Important role In education and as centres of training in areas such as hot1iculturu, gardening. landscaping, ex·situ conservation and enviroomentat awareness.

The new challenges and responsibilities of 8Gs in undertaking research and development programmes on documen~ng. bio-prospecting and sustainable use of biodiversity are also renected In action programmes related to the Implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBO). which came In fOfte on December 29, 1993. ceo Is a comprehensive intemallonal legal framework for biodiversity conservation, sustaiMbie use and benefit sharing and Articles 6 (General MeaSlJres for Conservation and Sustainable Use), 7 (ex-situ Conservation), 12 (Education and Awareness) and IS (Role of Botanic Gardens of the world) amply justify the need for further stnmgthening of the MOEF's Scheme on "Assistance to Botanic Gardens" for ex-situ conservation of plant diversity. The revised Guidelines of the Scheme presented in the dOClJment will help to achieve effec~ve ex-situ conservation of Indi!)(ll'lOUS species. particularly threatened and endemic species of the region through Botanic Gardens of the country.

2. SCHEME ON ASSISTANCE TO 80TANICGAROENS

2.1 In view of the above background and context, a scheme was initiated by the Union Ministry of Environment arid Forusts, Govemment of India in 1991-92 to promote 9 X-sitU conservation and propagation of threatened and endemi<: plants through a network of Botanic Gardens (8Gs) and Centres of 9 X-sitU conservation. The assistance for 8GslBotanic S9ctionS in popular gard&ns on 100% grant basis is aimed at ex-silu conservation of threatened and 9ndemic flora including furthering research afld promoting awareness and educatiofl . Under the scheme. it is envisaged to have a netwolil of BGsIBotanic Sections in popular horticulture or thematic gardens all OV9r tho collntry. The networlt would cover appro~imate!y 40% of the civil districts 01 the country by the end 01 XII Five Year Plan. Financial assistanco has been

provided to various Botanic gardens through 291 projects (list atAppendi. - VI) whicl'l include 13 lead Botani<: Gardens liIl November, 2012 (Appendix - IV). These prOjOCls have greatly helped In improving infrastructure facilities In existing gardens like fencing. irrigaliOl1 , green/glass house and survey of threatened plants in various parts of the country. These projects have also helped in enSUrillQ protection through ex-situ COI1servation of a large number of endemic and threatened plant species in the country.

The COflI (Pl"imary) activitfes under the scheme includes ex-situ conservation and multiplication of threatened and endemic plants, establishment of seed banks, arboreta and mist propagatioo facility and reintrodli<:tion of such plants in fl<Itural habitat. Secondary activities, are necessary for core activities, whicl1 include devilloprnent of infrastructure facil~ies, man-power (only for lead Botanic Gardens), equiprnents, contingencies and travel for field work.

The achievements made in these botanic gardens are periodically monitored with the help of Botanical Survey of Illdia (BSI). The Ministry has constituted an 'Expert Group' to identify and recommelld proposals received under the scheme. The Botanical Survey of India helps in identification of threatened and endemic plants requiring prior~y attention for ex-silu conservation.

2.2 Under the scheme, one-time financial assistance is provided to organizations maintaining Botanic Gardoos for strengthening their infra structural facilibes , equipments to facilitate conservatioo and propagation of threatened and endemic ptant spades of the region . In case of lead Botanic Gardens, assistance would Include support for Infrastructure including equipments and manpower for a period offive years . Assistance Is also given for development of botanic sections In the popular gardens developed by local bodies or State Government's departments or any other organization of repute having reasonable knowtedge of the ftora. means to maintain them and \0 disseminate information and inculcate care and conservation habits Including multiplication of threatened and endemic plants Details are provided In the relevant sectionS.

2.3 The Botanical Survey of India has prepared a list of threatened and endemic plants In different phyto-geographic regions of the country. All Interested organizationsliflstitutions having expertise In the rleld , while fOllTlulaling projects for financia l assistance under the scheme may COfltact \0 the Director. Botanical Survey of India, Kolkata or regiona l offK:8S of BSI for advice. guidelines, pro-fOllTla and list of threatened and endemic plants requiring special attention. Contact addresses of BSI (Hqrs.) and regioflal offices and their territorial jurisdiction are given in Appendix- IV (also see WYM.bsi.gov.in).

2.4 Adatabase of al l the Botanic Garde<1s supported by the Ministry would be created. These Gardons including lead Botanic Gardefls would be networil;ed with oach other. Under the networlling scheme, the Botanic Gardens ifl a State would be able to eKchange knowledge and plant matillial and also Oflsure maintenance of such plant species at diflereflt places without the chance of loosing them.

3, AIMSANDOBJECTtVESOFTHESCHEME

The aims and objectives lor ex-situ conservation of indigenous particularly threatened and endemic plants include:

I, Ex- situ conservation and multiplication olThreatened and Endemic ~ants;

(vi) Status 01 attachEtd laboratOfy facilities shall be one of the impoftant criteria for designation of Lead Botanic Gardens.

5. LEAD BOTANIC GARDENS

5.1 Roleof Lead Botanic Gardens:

The role of Lead Botanic Gardens is to S6fV1l as a referral centre and a model wrth respect to conservation of threatened and endemic species of different phyt~raphic regfons of the country.

The objectr.es olthe Lead Botanic gardens include elf-situ conservation of identified speeies, research. capacity t)uilding , generation of knowledge products and rehabi litation and recovery programmes with respect to elf-$ilu conservation of identified species. The Lead Botanic Gardens would serve as important node in \he networil of other Botanic Gardens of the region supported by the Ministry under the scheme In tenns of exchanging knowledge and plant material of the identified threatened and endemics species and also ensuring maintenance 01 such plant 'species' populations_ The knowledge generation activity undertaken irt lI1e Lead Botanic Gardens is linked to the ultimate management objective 01 elf·situ conservation.

While there are more than 1.800 Botanic Gardens in the world, only a few have made the necessary shift in focus lI1at underpins SCientific research and conservation, making them an essential component 01 the global conservation goals. The Kew Gardens. Missouri Bot3flic Gardens, Singapore Botanic Garden, etc. serve as a lew examples. The gardens which provide the traini..g and necessary expertise for replication at regional or local levels. could be tenned as 'Lead Botanic Gardens' or models lI1at must be followed. Globally, these Lead Botanic Gardens together form important resource centres tor blodiversfty conservation. Lead Botanic gardens should serve the present day needs of conservation and education vis-a-vis the obligations under lI1e CBO and the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) as well as in the context of the present WTO regime and the country's National Environment PoHcy. 2006. wtlich lncludes conservation offtora.

Several Lead Botanic Gar(!ens of the world have Initiated various biotechnological and bio­prospecting programmes, Roya l Botanic Gardef\. Kew: Royal Botanic Garden. Edinburgh: Missouri Botanic Garden (USA): Beijing Botanic Garden and Nanching Botanic Garden In China: based on their valuable plant collection and knowledge base. In India National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI), Lucknow: Jawahar Lal Nehru: Tropical Botanic Garden & Research Instrtute (TBGRI) Trivandrum. Botanic Garden at Shr.aji University. Kolhapur are examples 01 those Botanic Gardens involved in active research in biotechnology and biG-prospecting.

Period of support to such Lead Botanic Gardens shall be for 5 years. However. keeping in view the important mandate of Lead Botanic Gardens to act as model centres for eJ/·situ conservation and research, assistance may be further e~tended for a period 5 years after review subject to continuation ofll1e scheme in subsequent plan periods.
