Australian PlantBank

The Australian PlantBank was built in NSW in 2013. It is an international centre for plant research and learning, incorporating the largest native plant conservation seedbank in Australia. Like the National Herbarium of NSW, the Australian PlantBank forms a living reference collection for identification, research and restoration. Visitors can immerse themselves in the workings of our scientists by seeing into the laboratories aided by award-winning interpretation. As well as storing millions of seeds, PlantBank staff contribute to the conservation, research and restoration of threatened species and plant communities through our partnerships in Australia and overseas.

澳大利亚植物银行（Australian PlantBank）于2013年在新南威尔士州（New South Wales，简称NSW）落成。作为面向植物研究与科普教育的国际中心，该机构收纳了澳大利亚规模最大的本土植物保护种子库。与新南威尔士州国家植物标本馆（National Herbarium of NSW）一脉相承，澳大利亚植物银行打造了可用于物种鉴定、科学研究与生态修复的活体参考馆藏。借助获奖的阐释导览系统，参观者可深入实验室一线，沉浸式体验科研人员的工作流程。除了贮藏数百万份植物种子之外，澳大利亚植物银行的工作人员还通过澳大利亚国内外的合作项目，积极参与濒危物种与植物群落的保护、研究及修复工作。
