It was one of the first organizations created to meet this need and is comprised of a network of 36 leading botanic institutions. Dr. Kennedy was the recipient of GCA's highest conservation award last year at the Annual Meeting. If you would like to learn more about the CPC, go to the website centerforplantconservation.org
