Global Trees Campaign
Over 8,000 tree species, 10% of the world's total, are threatened with extinction. Destruction of woodland and forest and unsustainable felling of valuable timbers are threatening many important species, and alarmingly few of these endangered trees are receiving conservation attention.
The Global Trees Campaign, a joint initiative between Botanic Gardens Conservation International and Fauna & Flora International (www.fauna-flora.org), in association with other partners around the world, works to save the world's most threatened tree species and their habitats through provision of information, conservation action and support for sustainable use. The campaign focuses on trees as flagship species for conservation of ecosystems and landscapes, and enables local people to carry out rescue and sustainable use operations.
