taxonomists, geneticists, practitioners, policy makers and others need a place to share experiences improve translocation science and practice to deliver more effective conservation outcomes. The 1st International Plant Translocation Conference will provide
a forum for this discussion. </span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
