adaptation of Australian flora to current and future threats.
    * The pace of environmental and climatic change is challenging and presents new and emerging threats to Australian plant conservation.
    * The ANBG should attract more partners and resources by better publicising outcomes of its conservation research.

What we are going to do

Policies
1.3.1       The ANBG will establish cross-organisational research priorities that inform conservation management action, including through a new 5-year living collection plan and research strategy and the National Seed Bank Strategy 2020–2025.
1.3.2       We will publish and revise the ANBG Conservation Policy every 5 years.
1.3.3       We will actively support the Parks Plant Conservation Strategy, providing expertise and effort to achieve collaborative conservation outcomes in Commonwealth reserves.

Actions
1.3.4       Identify knowledge gaps and priorities for ecosystems, habitats and species where conservation research will effectively contribute to sustaining evolutionary and ecological processes of Australia's biodiversity.
1.3.5       Develop conservation actions that:
      are underpinned by innovative, sound and robust knowledge
      are strategic, innovative, coordinated and collaborative
      are adaptive and responsive to new information
      engage the community and encourage participation in conservation actions.
1.3.6       Work collaboratively with parks, gardens and biosecurity managers to develop and implement integrated conservation actions that help address biosecurity threats in parks and gardens and in natural environments.
1.3.7       Work collaboratively with parks, gardens, peak bodies and land managers to develop and implement integrated conservation actions that help address the impacts of natural disasters (such as floods and fires) and of climate change.
1.3.8       Work to prioritise publications that inform partners and end users about outcomes from our conservation research.

COLLECTIONS AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

        Goal 2.               Develop, manage and curate world-class physical and digital collections, providing information and knowledge about Australian plants

Direction setting
The ANBG manages a number of nationally significant scientific and cultural collections, which together contribute significantly to our knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Australia's plants. The living horticultural and seed collections are linked to herbarium, image, library and specialised genetic collections through our comprehensive data systems. The data and information from these physical and digital collections is used for a wide range of research, policy and program applications – both nationally and globally.
As in previous decades, the ANBG will continue to curate its living plant and National Seed Bank collections as important representations of Australia's unique plant diversity. Several parts of the collection are displayed to illustrate ecosystems and landscapes, such as the Rainforest Gully and the Red Centre Garden. Increasingly, conservation will influence the development of the living collection and seed-banking priorities.
As part of CANBR, ANBG staff will contribute to the development and management of the collections of the Australian National Herbarium (ANH). The ANH is a
