It provided model subsequent CBD workplans, with targets, undoubtedly contributed 2010 target reducing rate biodiversity loss. In event, few targets were achieved, because numerous constraints both policy implementation levels. Even so, GSPC stands as an important milestone global conserve biodiversity. However, plant scientists can satisfied essential steps are being taken ensure conservation plants, although, course, only one part complex will required. This paper offers some suggestions might worth consideration, building basic principle politics strong constituency is necessary victory. other words, although play crucial role, too leave their hands alone; far broader support required, including from private sector, agriculture, forestry, trade, economics, tourism even military. Although botanical science provides solid foundation, branches also important, ranging anthropology zoology. legal profession has contributions make (as well ability hamper progress – example using issues access benefit sharing limit exchange genetic materials noncommercial use). United Nations Year Biodiversity, reached due date. therefore seems timely add additional perspectives update GSPC. suggests ways constituency, tools those who expected achieve build international world's wealth. © 2011 Linnean Society London, Botanical Journal Society, 2011, 166, 233–239.
