About this site

The Cooperative Orchid Conservation website has been developed by a number of organisations actively involved in orchid conservation including the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, the Department of Sustainability and Environment, the Royal Melbourne Zoological Gardens, the Australasian Native Orchid Society, the University of Melbourne and RMIT University.

The purpose of the website is to inform interested people about the range of orchid conservation work that is happening in Australia and to help people that are seriously involved in orchid conservation to link up with others that are working to improve the conservation status of Australia's threatened orchids.
