Botanic Gardens of Sydney
Celebrating Epson's Commitment to biodiversity conservation through partnership with Botanic Gardens of Sydney.
Botanic Gardens of Sydney is Australia's oldest scientific institution and a global leader in plant science. Through its world-class research facilities, expertise and living collections, one of its key missions is to strengthen the conservation of rainforest plants by deepening our understanding of their biology, developing best practice conservation methods and helping prevent species loss in the wild.
Botanic Gardens of Sydney x Epson partnership
Since 2023, we have been a partner of Botanic Gardens of Sydney to support the Australian Institute of Botanical Science and the Australian PlantBank's Rainforest Seed Conservation Project, helping preserve at-risk rainforest plants against threats like deforestation, climate change, and disease.
