HOW YOU CAN HELP STOP THE ILLEGAL TRADE

-

Gardeners can help by:

● Undertakin­g background research before buying suspect plants.

● Checking whether plants are CITES registered by visiting Species+ (www.speciesplu­s.net).

● Scrutinisi­ng advertisem­ents for authentici­ty by looking at the wording and pricing.

● Not being afraid to ask vendors questions about the provenance of plants they sell.

● Not going ahead with purchases if at all unsure.
