Kew Gardens is a special case: though inscribed as a Designed Cultural <strong>Landscape</strong>, it has (in the rather<br />

understated words of the World Heritage Committee record) “contributed to advances in many<br />

scientific disciplines, particularly botany and ecology”. In that sense it may be said to be associative<br />

landscape as well. IUCN’s close and long standing interest in Kew Gardens arises from its central<br />

place in plant conservation, its world wide scientific standing, and the outstanding quality of its ex situ<br />

plant collection, even though the site is not a protected area in the strict IUCN meaning.<br />
