The New York Botanical Garden is an iconic living museum and, since its founding in 1891, has served as an oasis in this busy metropolis. As a National Historic Landmark, this 250-acre site's verdant landscape supports over one million living plants in extensive collections. Each year 900,000 visitors enjoy the Garden not only for its remarkable diversity of tropical, temperate, and desert flora, but also for programming that ranges from renowned exhibitions in the Haupt Conservatory to festivals on Daffodil Hill. The Garden is also a major educational institution. More than 300,000 people annually—among them Bronx families, school children, and teachers—learn about plant science, ecology, and healthful eating through NYBG's hands-on,curriculum-based programming. Nearly 90,000 of those visitors are children from underserved neighboring communities, while more than 3,000 are teachers from New York City's public school system participating in professional development programs that train them to teach science courses at all grade levels. NYBG operates one of the world's largest plant research and conservation programs, with nearly 200 staff members—including 80 Ph.D. scientists—working in the Garden's state-of-the-art molecular labs as well as in the field, where they lead programs in 18 countries.

The Repository Centre is providing access to biological material ranging from whole organisms (bacteria, fungi, plant material) to DNA samples of whole genomes (gDNA), organellar and sub-genomic clones and BACs or genes (ESTs). The core of our facility is a large automated sample storage and retrieval system. We integrate material and data from various sources all over Europe, being part of the EVOLTREE and Trees4Future networks.

CPMA was established in 1989, at CPQBA - Chemical, Biological and Agricultural Pluridisciplinary Research Center, at UNICAMP - Campinas State University, in the city of Paulinia, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The first species were donated by the University of Brasilia and CENARGEN – Genetic Resources and Biotechnology Research Center of EMBRAPA – Brazilian National Agricultural Research Company. Since then, the Collection has received donations from various research institutions, private farmers and kept samplings from several research projects The Collection has approximately 3.000 specimens (650 species and 78 botanical families) of wild and domesticated medicinal and aromatic plants from different regions of Brazil and the world. CPMA is one of the main bases for scientific research and technology development by CPQBA-UNICAMP and Brazilian and International partner institutions. The species arrive at the Collection, in most cases, with information on their biological characteristics and folk uses, what supports research and development, processes of domestication and scientific evaluation. All information is available in a database online documentation with photos; the data are available in Splink and IABIN network. CPMA is approved since 2005 as a Trusted Biorepository by the Brazilian Federal Environment Ministry and became an associate member of the GGBN - Global Genomic Biodiversity Network in 2014.

The ESB has one of the oldest and greatest collections of environmental specimens in the world. The oldest samples are collected in the mid-1960s, and for some species continuous series of samples from the late 1960s up to now are stored.The ESB has at its disposal tissue samples from more than 260,000 organisms, mostly from animals but also from plants (moss). The majority of the samples are stored at -30 °C and -80 °C. Some types of samples are stored dry at room temperature.

The BCCM consoritum wants to be a solution partner for providing services of quality in microbial and genetic resources for academia and industry. Its mission is to •acquire, preserve and distribute microbial and genetic resources, •identify and characterize these biological materials, •offer customer-oriented services, •increase the understanding of microorganisms and their function in ecosystems, •foster the application of biological resources. The BCCM consortium gathers 7 complementary microbial culture collections that are coordinated by a central at the Belgian Science Policy.

The Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA) is known for being one of the world’s most beautiful and impressive museums devoted to Africa. Since its founding in 1898, its task has been to preserve and manage collections, carry out scientific research, and disseminate knowledge to a wide audience through its scientific, educational, and museological activities. The RMCA plays an active role in the sustainable development of Africa, and aspires to be a centre for collaboration and reflection on today's Africa and the challenges it faces. Our collections, noted for their diversity, are of enormous scientific value and are unique in many ways. Large portions have now been digitised and made available to researchers the world over.
