The Atlanta Botanical Garden's International Conservation plant collections and field work focus on under-represented and internationally endangered plant groups and the restoration of their habitats. Some plant groups included in this program are Old World desert collections, Old World island palms that follow an island bio-geographical theme, and other conservation collections including tropical conifers, orchids, cycads and carnivorous plants. The key to Atlanta Botanical Garden's Conservation Program is using low-cost restoration and recovery techniques, and to work directly with local landowners and any relevant agencies, botanical institutes and organizations.
The success of the program is based on the high level of horticultural and botanical expertise of its staff members, their dedication to each project and their ability to work on a variety of different levels - local, national or international.

The mission of the Atlanta Botanical Garden's amphibian program is to promote the conservation of amphibians through education, research and in situ conservation. The Atlanta Botanical Garden has an active captive breeding and research program with educational displays in the lobby of the Fuqua Conservatory. The collaborative efforts of the Atlanta Botanical Garden and Zoo Atlanta are focused on taking action against amphibian extinction while promoting education and research both at home and abroad. The rescue programs strive to give some amphibian species a little lien on life. However, for many amphibians, time is of the essence!
