Autor(en)

Abstrakt

Botanical gardens devoted to research, conservation and education are involved in a number of procedures and decisions which do not (only) relate to scientific data, but require ethically based considerations. Such topics include, i.a., the evaluation of “legal access and fair and equitable sharing of elements of biodiversity” according to the regulations of the Convention on Biological Diversity, “best practices” for sustainability, the “alien species“ issue, or questions about what to conserve in a botanical garden or which partners and sponsors to choose. The presentation will look at challenges, discussions and decision making processes connected with such topics in botanical gardens.
