Hi Olivia,
Here's a bit more information on the China plant conservation strategy for
the listserv:
The development of China's National Strategy for Plant Conservation was
born out of a meeting organized by Botanic Gardens Conservation
International (BGCI) in late 2006, and BGCI maintains an office at South
China Botanical Garden to help implement the Strategy (see
http://www.bgci.org/china_en/news/0378/ for details on the office).
You can find links to press releases, brochures, and the English version
of the Strategy at http://www.bgci.org/worldwide/1917/
Thanks!
Andrea
