The Centre for Middle Eastern Plants (CMEP) is an authority on the Middle Eastern environment.
We work with local partners to tackle contemporary environmental challenges including sustainable development, biodiversity conservation, water conservation and climate change.
CMEP projects leave pragmatic and environmentally sustainable legacies.
Established in 2009, CMEP’s purpose is to expand the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RGBE) scope of work across the Middle East.
The 150 years of experience housed within the RGBE will continue to underpin our conservation planning and capacity building work as well as revenue generating products such as the development of new botanic gardens and more commercial planting schemes.
