and maintaining effective research partnerships with diverse stakeholders. Conservation actions will often be addressed in consultation and partnership with other botanic gardens, local Indigenous custodians, land managers and other stakeholders.

In the case of critical ex situ plant conservation activities, the ANBG will continue to develop further collaborative teams with community and industry partners to share expertise and ideas in seed biology and to advance horticultural practices for the cultivation of Australian plants – and to apply findings to conservation management actions.
Other key partnerships operate at various levels. For instance, the ANBG's Biodiversity Informatics team supports the ANBG, CANBR, the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment and partners in their management of scientific collections by enabling the entry, curation, presentation and analysis of associated data. Nationally this team partners with other botanic gardens and the Atlas of Living Australia to integrate biodiversity datasets, which are delivered internationally to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and other data exchange partnerships for systematic biological and conservation-based research.
The ANBG proposes to seek new opportunities to collaborate with Indigenous people during the period of this management plan. Incorporating traditional ecological knowledge into scientific investigations and conservation management projects will enhance the success of group efforts by drawing on the local knowledge and expertise of a wide range of individuals and groups who live in and intimately know the local environment.
Working with community groups can bring different insights and approaches to an activity. The ANBG will partner with local communities in projects where the collective effort benefits the outcomes. Our ongoing relationship with the Friends of the ANBG is invaluable and we will maintain this partnership so that the Friends have a personal sense of responsibility, involvement, commitment and enjoyment.
Since partnerships play a significant role in the ANBG's ways of working it is important that we pay attention to the means of maintaining existing relationships and to principles around establishing new partnerships. The ANBG will take care to ensure that for all our partnerships we continuously evaluate the collaboration's productivity, the perspectives of all partners, and the desired outcomes for success.

Summary
The Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) has been growing, studying and promoting Australian plants and related flora for over 50 years. As a botanic garden and national institution managed by the Australian Government, the ANBG has a mandate to serve the nation by conserving its living and herbarium collections as significant records of the story of plants in Australia's 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
