The most annoying thing about the barriers being up around London for the coronation is the inability to jay walk. Feeling so trapped.

Thank you @TRAFFIC_WLTrade for allowing me to take part in the side event virtually, providing feedback for the online training tool on conducting NDFs.

This project will be using chemical fingerprinting (isotope analysis) to find out where the seized plants came from so we could re-introduce them into the correct locations.

@kewgardens @TRAFFIC_WLTrade @SANBI_ZA Since 2019 South Africa authorities have seized over 700,000 succulent plants from 450 species. These are all conserved in South African nurseries and botanic gardens - but we can't plant them back in the wild as we don't know where they came from.

[Emma Williams @BotanyEm]

Had the honour today to meet the President of South Africa @kewgardens to talk about our new project with @TRAFFIC_WLTrade and @SANBI_ZA on the illegal online trade of succulents
