Abstract
Trade in CITES Bulbs from Turkey and Georgia is the highest unit trade in CITES plants or animals - in Snowdrops alone - some 24 million bulbs/year. Little or no work has been done to assess the impact of CITES regulations on the livelihoods of the ‘harvest’ families. This project will assess and model that impact, review possible incentives, explore links to the CITES Non-Detriment process and the possible benefits associated with wild collection as opposed to artificial propagation.
