| The Huntington Botanical Gardens living collections comprise over 29,000 taxa representing some 16,000 species. This diverse collection is cultivated in twenty-one named gardens across 160 acres of public space, which also include art museums and a research library. Examples of core botanical collections include Agavaceae, Araceae, Arecaceae, Cactaceae, Camellia, Cycadales, Euphorbiaceae, Magnolia, Orchidaceae, and Rosa, among others.
Research programs at the Gardens include molecular systematics and conservation genetics and a tissue culture/cryopreservation program.
The Huntington Botanical Gardens Herbarium (HNT) contains over 10,000 specimens of vascular plants from around the world, with particular emphasis on plants from Mexico, Central America and South America. Important collections include those of F. Boutin, J. P. Folsom, D. R. Hodel, D. de Laubenfels, M. Kimnach and R. Moran. Plant families well-represented include Arecaceae, Cactaceae, Crassulaceae, Euphorbiaceae, and desert plants worldwide.
Our tissue and DNA banks are a growing representation of our living collections as well as material from collecting expeditions and research-based field work. | US |  | 2024-04-15 | 263 |

| The Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR) was founded by the decision of the Council of Ministers (HĐBT 65/CT) on 5th March 1990. Its function consists of studying biological resources and typical ecosystems in order to supply the needs of the population in foodstuffs, food grains, consumer goods, to recommend planning activities for socio-economic development and environmental protection and to carry out the education and training of scientists on ecology and biological resources.
Major Scientific Objectives:
To study the flora and fauna of Vietnam.
To inventory and evaluate biological resources in order to provide a basis for rational utilization of the species having scientific, economic, and conservation values.
To undertake research on the structure and function of typical ecosystems in Vietnam for the monitoring and management of natural resources and their environment.
To work on environmental restoration, and the designing and planning of sustainable development from an environmental perspective.
To train scientists in the field of ecology and biological resources. | VN | | | |

| The Research & Collections Section of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences maintains curated biological specimens and associated genetic materials that support biodiversity, systematics, and evolutionary research. The collection serves as a long-term biorepository for voucher specimens and related tissue samples, ensuring traceability between physical specimens and genomic data. Collection data are managed using collection management systems and are shared through established biodiversity data networks to facilitate responsible access and reuse for scientific research. | US | | | |
