Congratulations to the Australian Seed Bank Partnership on 15 years of helping safeguard Australia's extraordinary native flora! 🌱 Since 2011, the ASBP has united conservation seed banks, botanic gardens, researchers and government agencies across Australia, securing more than 18,000 native plant species and almost 1,000 nationally threatened species. At Kew, we're proud that our Millennium Seed Bank Partnership has worked alongside Australian partners for more than two decades, supporting projects that strengthen seed conservation, advance seed science and help recover some of Australia's most threatened plants. This milestone is a powerful reminder that protecting the world's plant diversity depends on collaboration across borders. If you'd like to discover why seed banking matters more than ever, listen to Unearthed, our award-winning podcast series hosted by Cate Blanchett, celebrating 25 years of Kew's Millennium Seed Bank and exploring how seeds are helping tackle biodiversity loss, restore habitats and build a more resilient future 🌱 Listen to the Unearthed podcast 👇 https://ow.ly/VKPv50Zht6E
