| The New York Botanical Garden is an iconic living museum and, since its founding in 1891, has served as an oasis in this busy metropolis.
As a National Historic Landmark, this 250-acre site's verdant landscape supports over one million living plants in extensive collections. Each year 900,000 visitors enjoy the Garden not only for its remarkable diversity of tropical, temperate, and desert flora, but also for programming that ranges from renowned exhibitions in the Haupt Conservatory to festivals on Daffodil Hill.
The Garden is also a major educational institution. More than 300,000 people annually—among them Bronx families, school children, and teachers—learn about plant science, ecology, and healthful eating through NYBG's hands-on,curriculum-based programming. Nearly 90,000 of those visitors are children from underserved neighboring communities, while more than 3,000 are teachers from New York City's public school system participating in professional development programs that train them to teach science courses at all grade levels.
NYBG operates one of the world's largest plant research and conservation programs, with nearly 200 staff members—including 80 Ph.D. scientists—working in the Garden's state-of-the-art molecular labs as well as in the field, where they lead programs in 18 countries. | US | | 2018-06-07 | 274 |
| The Repository Centre is providing access to biological material ranging from whole organisms (bacteria, fungi, plant material) to DNA samples of whole genomes (gDNA), organellar and sub-genomic clones and BACs or genes (ESTs). The core of our facility is a large automated sample storage and retrieval system. We integrate material and data from various sources all over Europe, being part of the EVOLTREE and Trees4Future networks. | AT | | | |
| The Herbario Nacional (MEXU by its acronym in the Index Herbariorum), under the custody of the Instituto de Biología of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), holds ca. 1.6 million specimens in six collections, namely Algae, Bryophytes, Fungi, Historical Collection, Lichens, and Vascular Plants (the latter including subcollections Fruits and Seeds, Types, and Xylotheque). Nearly 1.3 million specimens are available online, in most cases including a high-resolution digital image, in our web platform IBdata 3 (www.ibdata.ib.unam.mx) and also through UNAM´s open data portal (https://datosabiertos.unam.mx/). | MX | | | |

| The BCCM consoritum wants to be a solution partner for providing services of quality in microbial and genetic resources for academia and industry.
Its mission is to
•acquire, preserve and distribute microbial and genetic resources,
•identify and characterize these biological materials,
•offer customer-oriented services,
•increase the understanding of microorganisms and their function in ecosystems,
•foster the application of biological resources.
The BCCM consortium gathers 7 complementary microbial culture collections that are coordinated by a central at the Belgian Science Policy. | BE |  | | |

| Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz) promotes health and social development, generates and disseminates scientific and technological knowledge, be an agent of citizenship. These are the concepts that guide the actions of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), under the Ministry of Health, the most prominent institution of science and technology in health in Latin America.
Fiocruz has established its headquarters in the campus located in Manguinhos in the North of Rio de Janeiro state, where are the historic buildings of the former Federal Serum Therapy Institute (Instituto Soroterápico Federal). - as the Moorish Pavilion, the Pavilion of the Clock and Stable. Other six units are in the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Recife, Manaus, Brasilia and Curitiba. Besides, there are new units that are being structured, as part of the national expansion project of Fiocruz, relating to policies for decentralization of research and training of human resources, promoted by the Federal Government. The new units of Fiocruz that are in development will be implemented in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul, Ceará, Rondônia and Piauí.
Fiocruz has as one of its missions to preserve heritage buildings regarded to its history and its fields of activity. The campuses of the Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, in addition to harbor important architectural specimens of various periods, have high potential urban and landscape. The preservation of this heritage is responsibility of technical staff of the Department of Historical Heritage (DPH) of the Oswaldo Cruz House. | BR | | | 1,164 |
