In response to environmental, political, and institutional changes emerging in the late 1980s, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, reoriented its internal strategy to emphasize biodiversity. This environmental idea was integrated into many facets of the organization, and Kew subsequently became a leading advocate for protecting biodiversity. Drawing on existing studies concerned with the emergence and application of environmental concepts, this article traces the arrival of biodiversity as a prominent idea within the research, governance, and public outreach of Kew and explores how a biodiversity crisis was communicated through one of the world's largest and most influential botanic gardens.
