III International Orchid Conservation Congress

This international event sponsored by Orchid Specialists Group of the Species Survival Commission of the International Union for Conservation of Nature will be held March 19 – 24, 2007, in San Jose , Costa Rica . Organized by the Lankester Botanical Garden, the Congress will provide a forum for sharing knowledge, concerns, and hypotheses about the status of orchid conservation.

The primary objective will be to broaden the spectrum of useful abilities and knowledge about conservation and to include a broad base of professionals who are not directly related to botany and natural sciences, to analyze the factors threatening orchid populations and to suggest feasible strategies for conservation. During the Congress, the implementation of an International Agenda for Orchid Conservation will be reviewed and goals will be proposed to support the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, thus reaffirming the scientific community's commitment to orchid conservation.
