Northwestern University Ecological Park (NUEBG) was established as a plant diversity conservation facility and repository in the Northwestern Luzon, Philippines. It houses living plant collection as well as an herbarium - The Herbarium of the Northwestern Luzon, Philippines with international code HNUL, including a small collection of preserved natural history specimen.It also preserve seeds and pollen and spores of plants and fungi as part of the Millenium Seedbank Partnership program, and a DNA collecting project as an output of the Global Genome Initiative in 2021-2022. The Botanic Garden was established in 2007, and has been a hub for biodiversity research as it also manages several satellite in situ conservation sites. It is both registered to the BGCI and the IABG, a level IV in the Arboretum Network accreditation. A member of the Southeast Asian Garden Network and the Botanic Gardens and Arboreta Network of the Philippines. The garden's enormous living plant collections houses morethan 230 families of the kingdom Plantae and are used extensively for plant systematics following the latest APG IV classification. This facility is managed by a private university, and has no government financial support.

The Finnish Museum of Natural History LUOMUS is an independent research institution functioning under the University of Helsinki. It is also one of the three central national museums in Finland and responsible for the national collections in its field. The collections, which include botanical, zoological, geological and paleontological specimens from all over the world, serve research in the fields of biology and geology as well as educational purposes. LUOMUS http://luomus.fi/en houses scientific collections of 13.2 million specimens and living plants, making it one of the largest Natural History Museums in the Nordic countries and the leading institute in Finland for academic research and education on biodiversity and taxonomy.

Collection consists 30000 extracted DNA samples from molecular lab workflow containing mainly soil, plant and fungal samples. Samples are digitalized in https://plutof.ut.ee/ workbench and connected with relevant metadata.

The Marine Natural History Museum of Colombia (MHNMC) – Makuriwa, that is part of the Marine and Coastal Research Institute (INVEMAR) holds the most important, numerous and well documented marine biological collections of the country. The Museum is registered in the National Register of Biological Collections (http://rnc.humboldt.org.co/wp/) since 2001 (Registration No. 82). The first lots in the museum are from the 1960s. Most of the collections are organized by phylum, with some exceptions such as Fishes, Plankton, Fungi, Bacteria and the Tissue collection. Samples of the museum are mostly from the Caribbean Sea, however, also from the Tropical Eastern Pacific, as marine areas belonging to the country, whose research is the INVEMAR mission. Most of the data associated with biological collections are available online through the Marine Biodiversity Information System (SiBM) (https://siam.invemar.org.co/sibm) which is the marine node of SiB-Colombia; through the IPT-SiBM https://ipt.biodiversidad.co/sibm); and through GBIF and OBIS, since INVEMAR is a data provider.

The Southern China DNA Barcoding Center (SCDBC) is the only Central Node of the International Barcode of Life (iBOL) in Asia and provides sequencing, bioinformatics, and biorepository training to researchers across the region.

CPMA was established in 1989, at CPQBA - Chemical, Biological and Agricultural Pluridisciplinary Research Center, at UNICAMP - Campinas State University, in the city of Paulinia, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The first species were donated by the University of Brasilia and CENARGEN – Genetic Resources and Biotechnology Research Center of EMBRAPA – Brazilian National Agricultural Research Company. Since then, the Collection has received donations from various research institutions, private farmers and kept samplings from several research projects The Collection has approximately 3.000 specimens (650 species and 78 botanical families) of wild and domesticated medicinal and aromatic plants from different regions of Brazil and the world. CPMA is one of the main bases for scientific research and technology development by CPQBA-UNICAMP and Brazilian and International partner institutions. The species arrive at the Collection, in most cases, with information on their biological characteristics and folk uses, what supports research and development, processes of domestication and scientific evaluation. All information is available in a database online documentation with photos; the data are available in Splink and IABIN network. CPMA is approved since 2005 as a Trusted Biorepository by the Brazilian Federal Environment Ministry and became an associate member of the GGBN - Global Genomic Biodiversity Network in 2014.
