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
