cultural and natural heritage; by encouraging and supporting the cultivation, use and conservation of Australian plants; and as a custodian of the national story of Australia's unique flora.
The vision for the ANBG is that Australians value, conserve and appreciate our diverse plant heritage.
To achieve this vision, the ANBG's mission is to inspire, inform and connect people with Australian flora.
This management plan describes how the ANBG will be managed for the next 10 years, both as a Commonwealth reserve under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and as an institution playing a national role through the science and research activities associated with the knowledge and assets of the ANBG.
Part 1 of this plan is an introduction to the ANBG. It provides a description of the reserve and the institution, and details its vision, mission, goals and corporate values.
Part 2 is the management plan for the ANBG. It presents the legislative context and background information, followed by details of how the ANBG will be managed. This is structured around the 4 goals. Each goal is followed by a direction-setting statement that describes where the ANBG aspires to be in 10 years. Challenges are described, and policies and actions to achieve the 4 goals are set out. This plan aims to be strategic and for the most part does not outline specific details of daily operations.
The national focus for the ANBG is reflected in the majority of its 4 goals and the outcomes that it aims to achieve during the life of this plan.

Goal 1: Research supports an improved understanding of Australian plants for horticulture, botany and conservation
Outcomes:
    * Increased knowledge of Australian plant biology, horticultural or germination processes relevant to storing and utilising ex situ collections or understanding species' tolerances to different environmental conditions
    * Improved understanding of plant taxonomy, systematics and the evolutionary history of Australian and related floras
    * Research findings influence management of biological collections, including priorities for future collections and succession planning
    * Research findings directly contribute to plant conservation and management actions

    * Research findings contribute to biosecurity, natural disaster and climate resilience policy and program needs
    * New and enduring partnerships with diverse stakeholders' support ANBG research programs
    * Research programs provide collaborative opportunities for tertiary students and early career researchers.
    * Research programs provide collaborative opportunities for training and development of tertiary students and early career researchers.

Goal 2: Develop, manage and curate world-class physical and digital collections, providing information and knowledge about Australian plants
Outcomes:
    * The collections are maintained to high curatorial standards
    * Our national botanical collections contribute to safeguarding Australian plant species from extinction
    * The ANBG is an accessible authoritative
