We conserve Vanilla species before they disappear.
Conserving the genus · Connecting the science
Our Mission
Most of the world's 150+ Vanilla species have never been studied. Many are already gone. We maintain the only dedicated living collection of the genus, preserving genetic material, generating cultivation data, and connecting researchers with plants that exist nowhere else.
Why It Matters
Learn about the conservation gap, why the genus Vanilla is at risk, and what a living genetic bank can do about it.
Collaborate
Contact us and join the first global directory of Vanilla researchers, find collaborators, or explore material exchange with the living collection.
