Securing rich and healthy plant diversity in functioning ecosystems is fundamental to the achievement of a sustainable future for humankind. They are critical to sustaining all life on Earth as they maintain environmental balance and ensure ecosystem stability. They provide ecosystem goods and services including food, medicine, clean water, climate amelioration, rich and productive landscapes, fabrics, building materials, energy, and a healthy atmosphere. The collection, preservation, protection, regeneration and promotion of traditional knowledge, innovations, and practices of local and Indigenous communities are key components.
