Bamboo Biodiversity

Bamboos are distinct and fascinating plants, with a wide range of values and uses, from construction to irrigation systems, musical instruments to food and fuel. However, we still know relatively little about most bamboos in the wild. As forest ecosystems shrink under human pressure, the survival of many potentially important bamboo species may be threatened.

The Bamboo Biodiversity report represents the first step towards planning and implementing conservation and sustainable management of bamboos in the wild.
