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.
