Abstract
Australasian Plant Conservation wrote to members of the plant conservation community, inviting short contributions on the themes: “What were you doing in 1991 and what are you doing now? How things have changed in the past 30 years.” and/or “What are the past, current and emerging issues for plant (or biodiversity) conservation in Australia (or Australasia)?” The following short articles are arranged in no particular order and encompass reflections and wisdom.

Perhaps the biggest change has been the shift in focus from conservation to restoration.
