Supply: quality control Obtaining supply of quality plants
Urgent need to do this
This links with International Conventions EU Directives - D 1.9 Target audiences need different information
-
Business as usual is not an option.
What does this mean for conservation and those interested in increased use of biodiversity, improved agriculture, - research?
Changes in land use in China having impact on land available for growing plants = move from wild harvesting to cultivated materialOctober 30 2006

Global Strategy for Plant Conservation
Conservation and sustainable use of plants used in TCMAdopted World Summit 2002 16 targets to deliverTargets revised Dublin Ireland 2010
-
TCM: and GSPCMain areas of activity internationally:Target 1: A widely accessible working list of known plant spp., as a step towards a complete world flora Target 2: A preliminary assessment of the conservation status of all known plant spp.Target 8: 60% of threatened plant spp. in accessible ex situ collections, preferably in country of origin, and 10% included in recovery and restoration programmes
-
Plant conservation in China33,000 vascular plants (50-60% are endemic: e.g. Camellia 98 in China, 21 in rest of the world) of which 24,667 are represented in botanical collections in China
Red listed species: 1992=388; 2004 = 4408 (TCM 500)
3,000 natural conservation area (16% of land area; 1980=70; 2010=160 botanic gardens)
-
Plant Biodiversity in ChinaCrop plants: 300 of the 15,000 crop plants come from China
Ornamentals: 60% of the 7,500 traded come from China
Medicinal: 8000 species about 2000 TCM

Key points
Links with other WPs - bring the data together
Quality control criteria for reviewing papers and input into the future = SOP
Are we gathering the appropriate information ???
