Abstract
Within the framework of the national goals and strategic objectives of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024, the tasks were formulated to radically improving the comfort of the urban environment, preserving biological diversity and preserving forests. These tasks can be successfully solved only in a integrated study of the biological environment of a concrete region. The article shows that the Botanical gardens, providing reliable preservation of the gene pool of the plant world from living organisms to biomaterials, are one of the forms of organization of the scientific process associated with the maintenance and preservation of the diversity of plant bioresources. Collection funds of Botanical gardens, which include tens of thousands of plant names, are a national treasure. The genetic resources of plants preserved in the collections of Botanical gardens represent a unified national collection distributed throughout the territory of the Russian Federation in a wide range of climatic conditions. Plants of natural flora and are currently indispensable raw materials for the food industry and pharmacology, despite the enormous development of the chemistry of synthetic compounds and nanobiotechnology. Botanical gardens can become not only focal points for the study and conservation of plant bioresources, but also the organization of joint research and international cooperation in this field, environmental and aesthetic education of the population.
