More about the Specialist Group
The IUCN SSC Medicinal Plant Specialist Group (MPSG) is a global network of specialists contributing within our own institutions and in our own regions, as well as world-wide, to the conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants.
Specialist Group work
We envision a significant increase in knowledge of the conservation status of priority species of medicinal and aromatic plants, planning and actions to conserve and sustainably use these species, and broader industry and consumer awareness and participation in the conservation of threatened species.
MPSG on the IUCN Red List
To inform conservation efforts, MPSG assesses species for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
