Nearly 40% of tree species on Earth are threatened with extinction and need preserved. Our urban forests demand new material to better function. Gardeners constantly crave novel new plants. And, let's face it, there is still so much more to learn about our ever-changing natural world. Plant exploration - documenting and collecting wild plant diversity - is an important part of all these activities.

In this presentation, veteran plant explorer Michael Dossman uses examples from his own expeditions in Asia and North America to compare and contrast the historic and modern plant hunter. He places these endeavors in the context of scholarship, global change, preservation of rarities, and the search for improved garden plants.
