Help the dying,
save the surviving.
We preserve and manage Indonesia's plant collections for education and champion public awareness of biodiversity conservation through the nation's botanical gardens.
Indonesia holds one tenth of the planet's plant life and it is slipping away.
Although it comprises just 1.3% of the Earth's surface, the Indonesian archipelago shelters between 25,000 and 30,000 plant species. Many vanish faster than they can be studied, discovered, or regenerated.
YKRI is the primary partner to Indonesia's botanical gardens mobilising resources, expertise and people to keep these living archives thriving.
