Previous checklists compiled by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, have already been adopted by the Conference of the Parties as standard nomenclature, and Parties are invited to review Volume 4 of the CITES Orchid Checklist in accordance with Resolution Conf. 12.11 (Rev. CoP13), paragraph h) under RECOMMENDS, as it will be nominated for standard reference at the 14th meeting of the Conference of the Parties, to be held in The Hague, Netherlands, in June 2007. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, also welcome comments on these
publications so that they can revise and improve future editions. |
The
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, which is the Scientific Authority
for plants of the United Kingdom, has just published two new orchid
references: CITES and Slipper Orchids and Volume 4 of
the CITES Orchid Checklist.
These
two references are primarily intended for those working with the
Convention, namely CITES Management Authorities, Scientific Authorities
and enforcement agencies. However, they are also likely to be
of interest to a much wider audience, especially those interested
in how CITES works for this commercially important group of plants.
