'Conservation and Ethical Considerations of At-Risk Plants in Herbal Product' Webinar Presented by Dr Susan Leopold

About the Webinar

The increased demand on wild medicinal plant resources has placed many species at risk! Understanding the biology and habitat of the plants we use in herbal products and where they come from is a critical aspect to the conservation considerations as well as the ethical aspects of plants in trade and the social implication of those harvesting. Join ethnobotanist, Susan Leopold PhD as she talks about the 25-year history of United Plant Savers and the At-Risk list. In addition, she will provide tools to assist in the decision making process when purchasing herbal products along with an overview of CITES (convention of international trade in endangered species), Traffic, Fair Wild and the IUCN red list.
