BGCI provides a global voice for all botanic gardens, championing and celebrating their inspiring work. We are the world's largest plant conservation network, open to all.

In September 2014 Ecsite signed a memorandum of understanding with the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) and Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI).

Together, the zoos, aquaria, botanic gardens, science centres and museums (etc.) members of our three organizations receive more than 240 million visitors a year. We are joining forces to engage audiences with biodiversity conservation.
