Inala Jurassic Garden works with many other individuals, gardens, arboretums and botanic gardens regarding information, and seed and/or plant exchange.

Current Memberships

Botanic Gardens Australia and New Zealand (BGANZ): a peak industry body formed to build and maintain links with relevant national and international bodies to benefit more than 130 botanic gardens across Australia and New Zealand.

Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI): a plant conservation charity based in Kew, London, England. It is a membership organisation, working with 800 botanic gardens in 118 countries, whose combined work forms the world's largest plant conservation network. 

Climate Change Alliance of Botanic Gardens (CCABG): brings together botanic organisations to take action to protect and enable adaptation of botanic landscapes in a changing climate. The world’s botanic gardens are custodians of critically needed scientific and horticultural knowledge, and their landscapes a source of inspiration, learning and a place for positive social change. By working together, members can protect treasured botanic landscapes.

Association of Botanic Gardens (IABG): Is the official umbrella organisation of botanic gardens and arboreta across the world and a scientific member of the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS). 

Global Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN): a global network of well-managed collections of genomic tissue samples from across the Tree of Life, providing genome-quality samples for research, training and development, thereby contributing to the conservation of global genetic diversity. Inala Jurassic Garden is an associate member of GGBN (and one of only 4 members in Australia) and is on the Data Standards Task Force reviewing data standard for cultivated specimens; GGBN promotion and member recruitment in Australia.

Current Affiliations

Global Conservation Consortium for Nothofagus (led by Wakehurst - Kew Gardens): Works to bring together the world’s Nothofagus experts, conservationists and the botanic garden community to ensure no wild Nothofagus (southern or false beech) species becomes extinct. Inala Jurassic Garden is an affiliate member and holds 16 species and 2 hybrids in its living collection. Six of these species are under threat in the wild and we are also monitoring one Australian species Nothofagus cunninghamii which grows in the cool temperate rainforest near Inala. 

Global Genome Initiative (GGI) - Gardens: The GGBN-GGI Awards Program provides funding for projects that support the discoverability of new genetic collections through the Global Genome Biodiversity Network's Data Portal. Inala Jurassic Garden was a recipient of a GGBN-GGI Award in 2021 which was administered through BGCI.Genetic samples and voucher specimens collected during the project have been permanently lodged at the Tasmanian Herbarium. 

Australian Native Plant Society (ANSPA): caters for people interested in Australia's native flora, from appreciation of its beauty and diversity to propagation, cultivation and conservation. The Society's activities are wide ranging and include special interest Study Groups and support of research through the Australian Flora Foundation. The Society is also involved in the publication of a range of practical and educational books on Australian plants and its members have been responsible for the establishment, development and maintenance of many public gardens and reserves throughout Australia.

Australian Network for Plant Conservation Inc (ANPC): The ANPC promotes an ecological focus in on-ground conservation, rehabilitation and management of remnant vegetation, threatened plants and ecological communities. It leads and collaborates on projects for the conservation of Australia’s flora, holds workshops and courses in conservation and rehabilitation techniques, publishes findings from current research and on-ground practices, provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas and a link to others active in plant conservation.
