Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 19 of the Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) contains concise biographies of individuals who died between 1991 and 1995. The first of two volumes for the 1990s, it presents a colourful montage of late twentieth-century Australian life, containing the biographies of significant and representative Australians. The volume is still in the shadow of World War II with servicemen and women who enlisted young appearing, but these influences are dimming and there are now increasing numbers of non-white, non-male, non-privileged and non-straight subjects. The 680 individuals recorded in volume 19 of the ADB include Wiradjuri midwife and Ngunnawal Elder Violet Bulger; Aboriginal rights activist, poet, playwright and artist Kevin Gilbert; and Torres Strait Islander community leader and land rights campaigner Eddie Mabo. HIV/AIDS child activists Tony Lovegrove and Eve Van Grafhorst have entries, as does conductor Stuart Challender, ‘the first Australian celebrity to go public’ about his HIV/AIDS condition in 1991. The arts are, as always, well-represented, including writers Frank Hardy, Mary Durack and Nene Gare, actors Frank Thring and Leonard Teale and arts patron Ian Potter. We are beginning to see the effects of the steep rise in postwar immigration flow through to the ADB. Artist Joseph Stanislaw Ostoja-Kotkowski was born in Poland. Pilar Moreno de Otaegui, co-founded the Spanish Club of Sydney. Chinese restaurateur and community leader Ming Poon (Dick) Low migrated to Victoria in 1953. Often we have a dearth of information about the domestic lives of our subjects; politician Olive Zakharov, however, bravely disclosed at the Victorian launch of the federal government’s campaign to Stop Violence Against Women in 1993 that she was a survivor of domestic violence in her second marriage. Take a dip into the many fascinating lives of the Australian Dictionary of Biography.

Book excerpt: Two of the biggest challenges faced by human kind are the conservation of our environmental resources and the elimination of poverty. It is increasingly recognised that these problems are interlinked: the goods and services provided by natural resources are needed to improve well-being, whilst for conservation to succeed it must relate to the poor's needs. This is reflected by all major international policies focused on development or conservation, such as the Millennium Development Goals, and the Convention on Biological Diversity. BGCI believes that biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction must be linked if we are to succeed in either aim. This report highlights how botanic gardens across the world are involved in a variety of projects that use biodiversity to improve human well-being and is based upon an extensive literature survey, and a multilingual survey of BGCI's members. For the purposes of the report, BGCI has divided human well-being into four main areas: (1) improving healthcare, (2) improving nutrition, (3) alleviating financial poverty, and (4) improving community and social relations. The many case studies within the report illustrate how botanic gardens across the world are contributing to these aspects in many diverse ways. Many botanic gardens promote improved nutrition and health through their support of home gardens. Their horticultural skills and ability to propagate plant materials often prove invaluable in this respect. For example, Aburi Botanical Garden in Ghana has been improving local access to medicinal plants by empowering local communities to set up medicinal gardens. As well as establishing a model home garden, it gives a wide range of lectures, seminars, workshops and demonstrations, distributes manuals and provides seedlings to enable communities to set up their own nurseries and first aid gardens. There are many other ways that botanic gardens work for well-being, from developing and hosting horticultural therapy programmes, to educating children about healthy eating, and training disadvantaged minorities in useful skills. Around the world, botanic gardens are also helping local communities to develop income generating projects, such as the production of handicrafts, based on the sustainable use of plant resources. This report also illustrates how various activities of botanic gardens underpin their ability to conduct projects that address well-being issues. Education and research are core strengths that need to be supported and directed to ensure they can continue to link plant diversity with human well-being. For example, many gardens have strong emphasis on research relevant to the development of useful plants in use in agriculture and healthcare. A typical example is Kisantu Botanic Garden in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which conducted trials on the popular fruit mangosteen, to enable farmers to extend the shelf-life of the harvested fruit, and so reach a larger market. Other gardens, such as Botanic Garden "Fundación Xochitla" in Mexico, have focused on developing plants to be locally cultivated for use in the ornamentals market. Well-being projects are not limited to developing countries. In developed countries urban greening projects can make a significant contributions to improving neighbourhood environment and community relations. Sometimes well-being projects involve collaboration between gardens, linking well-resourced gardens with those in an early stage of development, or with little financial support, and in many cases the unique role of botanic gardens is complemented by partnerships and collaborations with non-botanic garden institutions, such as local healthcare clinics. Botanic gardens are clearly much more than just "pretty places". As this report illustrates, they are uniquely placed to use plant diversity to contribute to human well-being. Given the scale of the crisis facing our efforts for both conservation and development, BGCI believes that it is an ethical and practical imperative that botanic gardens are mobilised for this goal.
