Conservation
More than 2000 species of plants are preserved at Bali Botanic Garden, including: ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Growing collections of documented wild-origin plants allows us to better understand these plants and help preserve the genetic uniqueness of plants (known as ex-situ conservation) to aid in restoration, if and when it becomes necessary.
We are propagating endangered plants for restoration purposes such as: Dicksonia blumei, Pinanga arinasae, and Podocarpus imbricatus. Propagation of ornamental plants (Begonia spp., Callistemon coccineus F. Muell, Phylodendron sp., Brunfelsia uniflora D. Don., Gerbera jamesonie Bolus, etc.), plantation plants (Altingia excelsa Noronha., Manglietia glauca Bl., Schima wallichii Choisy, Michelia alba DC., Michelia champaca L., Dysoxylum caulostachyum Miq., etc.), medicinal plants (Alstonia scholaris R. Br., Vitex trifolia L., Mentha arvensis L., etc.) and ceremonial plants (Hibiscus sp., Jasminum sambac Soland., Cordyline spp., Hydrangea macrophylla Ser., etc.).
