The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation - Target 11
No species of wild flora endangered by international trade;
Terms and technical rationale:
The proposed formulation of the target is more precise since it focuses on those species
that are actually threatened by international trade. So formulated, the target is attainable
and is complementary to target 12. Species of wild flora endangered by international
trade include but are not limited to species listed on appendix 1 of the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The target is
consistent with the main purpose of the CITES Strategic Plan (to 2005): "No species of
wild flora subject to unsustainable exploitation because of international trade".
