Royal Botanic Garden, Jordan

The Mission of the Royal Botanic Garden of Jordan is to ensure native flora conservation through ecological restoration and providing a research and demonstration site to address the environmental challenges of our times and generating hope for the future. Our objectives are to: • Become an internationally recognized research facility for all aspects of conserving Jordanian native plant diversity and biodiversity in arid-land environments. • Establish and display documented collections of the native plants of Jordan. • Encourage visitors to gain a deeper appreciation of plants and take pride in Jordan's floral heritage. • Educate the public on conservation issues and the human role in environmental change. • Revitalize communities through projects in harmony with nature. The Royal Botanic Garden is still under development, but will open to the public in the relatively near future, funding dependent.
