Overview

Randomized trial assesses botanic gardens' awareness of access and benefit-sharing, indicating a need for capacity-building.

Key Points

  • The research aims to evaluate the awareness and preparedness of botanic gardens regarding the Nagoya Protocol.
  • Conducted a global survey using an online Qualtrics questionnaire distributed via relevant associations.
  • Collected data from 222 botanic gardens across 46 countries about their governance, policies, and tracking of genetic resources.
  • Analyzed the relationship between socio-economic regions and gardens' familiarity with access and benefit-sharing.
  • Many gardens lack familiarity with access and benefit-sharing and the Nagoya Protocol.
  • A significant portion do not track plant material transfers or use material transfer agreements.
  • International involvement correlates with higher awareness and preparedness for compliance with the protocol.
