Abstract

Ex-situ conservation refers to the conservation of components of biological diversity outside their natural habitats. Since biodiversity is currently being lost at an unprecedented rate in their natural habitats, ex-situ conservation has become a suitable approach in their conservation. Botanical gardens are institutions or places that provide a suitable environment for the survival of threatened plant species. Through living plant collection, the botanical gardens have done tremendous contribution to ex-situ conservation of plant diversity which is in dire need for their conservation. With the establishment of National Botanical Garden (NBG) in Nepal in 1962, ex-situ conservation and protection of wild and threatened plant species has been properly addressed. A total of 547 taxa (542 species), 334 (331 species) of which are exotic and 213 (211 species) of which are native, have been preserved by NBG. NBG harbors 1 extinct in the wild, 1 critically endangered, 6 endangered, 5 vulnerable and 3 near threatened plant species according to the IUCN Red List categories, while 5 are endemic species to Nepal. It has also conserved CITES listed plant species (Appendix I- 1 species, Appendix II- 38 species and Appendix III- 2 species). Therefore, NBG plays a crucial role in the conservation of threatened species, educating the public and supporting them in understanding that conservation is a shared responsibility.
尼泊尔拉利特普尔戈达瓦里国家植物园迁地保护实践
迁地保护是指将生物多样性组成部分移出其自然栖息地进行保护。由于生物多样性正以前所未有的速度在其自然栖息地丧失,迁地保护已成为一种适当的保护方法。植物园是为濒危植物提供适宜生存环境的机构或场所。植物园通过采集活的植物,对植物多样性的迁地保护做出了巨大的贡献,这是植物多样性保护的迫切需要。随着1962年尼泊尔国家植物园(NBG)的建立,野生和濒危植物物种的迁地保护和保护得到了适当的解决。国家自然保护区共保存547个分类群(542种),其中外来分类群334个(331种),本地分类群213个(211种)。根据世界自然保护联盟红色名录分类,NBG有1种野生灭绝,1种极度濒危,6种濒危,5种易危和3种近危植物,其中5种是尼泊尔特有物种。它还保存了CITES列出的植物物种(附录I- 1种,附录II- 38种和附录III- 2种)。因此,国家植物园在保护濒危物种方面发挥着至关重要的作用,教育公众并支持他们认识到保护是一项共同的责任。
