We are excited to share a series of case studies from the Germplasm Guidelines currently being updated by the ANPC. Featured in the spring issue of Australasian Plant Conservation, these case studies capture the challenges of ex situ native plant conservation. We will be sharing these articles on social media over the coming weeks but you can read all of them here. The Germplasm Guidelines are now in the review process until March 2021. If you would like to review part of the guidelines prior to publication, please email the project manager Amelia Martyn Yenson.
