One
of the greatest threats currently facing mankind is the loss of species.
The flow of accurate information on the status of species is critical
to their survival.

and plants, including searchable databases
of the IUCN Red Lists. Our tree conservation
database links with our forest and trade
programmes providing data on habitats and use.
WCMC
has many research areas to provide specialised species
