The technological progress and the intensive use of natural resources have considerably increased the anthropogenic impact on biological diversity,essentially reducing the number of species and varieties of living organisms. In the global practice, botanical gardens are mainly involved in ex situ conservation activities, based in particular on the creation and maintenance of living plant collections and herbaria, therefore, they propose their own management based on the promotion of the concepts of biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of plant resources, the implementation and influence of the national and internationonal policy on biodiversity conservation.engene poolaromatic plantsArticlehttps://doi.org/10.59295/spd2024n.04
