Gap Analysis Published by GCCM
The Global Conservation Gap Analysis of Magnolia has been released. This publication presents a summary review of the ex situ and in situ conservation status of 336 Magnolia species. Using information from global databases such as BGCI's PlantSearch and a survey of the global botanic garden and conservation community this analysis aims to provide information to organizations working on Magnolia conservation and encourage next steps for collaborative conservation of the world’s Magnolia species. This work was completed in collaboration with Botanic Gardens Conservation International and with support from the USDA Forest Service, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Fondation Franklinia and Magnolia Society International.
