More about the Specialist Group

In September 2021, the State of the World’s Trees report was published, providing the first assessment of all of the world’s trees.

The GTSG is one of over 120 IUCN/SSC Specialist Groups and Red List Authorities. The full list can be seen here: Specialist Group Directory.

The group has over 140 expert members from botanic gardens, herbaria, universities and both governmental and non-governmental organisations represented.
