This directory was made possible with funding and support from the United States Forest Service, Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), National Tropical Botanical Garden, and Lyon Arboretum. Many thanks to these sponsors, and to BGCI for hosting this resource!
One of our targets for the 2021-2024 quadrennium is to broaden the geographical coverage of this directory, to more accurately represent global expertise and identify knowledge gaps. Feel free to contact us if you have any suggestions.
