Abstract

Indonesia as a megabiodiversity country faces serious challenges in conserving biological diversity (KEHATI). Ex-situ conservation through botanical gardens is an important complementary strategy. This study aims to identify the of plant species diversity in the Purwodadi Botanical Garden (KRP) and analyze the strategic role of KRP in the conservation of typical tropical dry lowland flora. The research was conducted descriptively over two months (March–April 2025) at the KRP scientific collection processing unit through an inventory of the flora collection based on a digital database and reception records analyzed according to species and number of individual plants in the collection, supported by a literature review. The inventory results showed that KRP manages more than 11,000 plant specimens of various Species across six environment area collection. In addition to conservation, KRP plays a role in research, education, ecosystem service provision, and developing innovations such as collection digitization and community engagement. This study concludes that KRP contributes significantly to national biodiversity conservation through an integrated ex-situ conservation approach combined with research and education
