Exhibition Medicinal plants

Scientists estimate that there are over 350,000 species of flowering plants growing in different habitats all over the world, which was once covered in vast swathes of forest. However, as humans expanded their habitats, they cleared forests to farm crops and build towns and cities. Increasing of world population, more forestland is being cleared to accommodate them. The danger is that many plant species could become extinct before they are even discovered or studied, especially those in the dense and humid rainforests which are difficult to access and explore. Given this risk, we must preserve forestland and rehabilitate deteriorating habitats by re-planting native species to restore ecological balance. In addition, we must collect plant samples to preserve and study in dedicated botanical gardens, saving seeds in a seed bank and breeding plants through responsible biological practices. It is vital to preserve as many plant species as possible so that they continue to survive and benefit the generations to come.

What is botanical garden

A botanical garden is a garden dedicated to the collection, cultivation, conservation and display of a wide range of plants labeled with their botanical names. Plants are methodically classified into scientific categories and data on each species is collected and recorded, including its geographical origin and scientific research findings which can be disseminated for public benefit. Thus, aside from hosting a rich variety of plants and vegetation, botanical garden is also equipped with a herbarium, library and laboratory.
