Our colleagues from the Western Australian Herbarium and the WA Threatened Flora Seed Centre were featured on Perth’s 720 ABC last week. The interviews with Department of Parks and Wildlife WA, staff members Ryonen Butcher, John Huisman and Andrew Crawford, as well as Herbarium Volunteer Pat Angel, give an insight into their plant and seed collections, the care it takes to look after them, and their importance to biodiversity conservation. The two audio files can be accessed here.
