2 Why worry about trans-country RET species? Distributed across boundaries Everyone s or No one s responsibility? Information incomplete or deficit Conservation status not properly evaluated Need collaboration for conservation There are no international efforts as of now

30 What is needed? Need for Inter-country or International collaboration in conservation Need combined datasets on these species for Evaluating the real conservation status Prioritizing conservation sites Assigning country-wise responsibilities on different elements of conservation

31 A Proposal: Digital Database on RET Plants across Asian Work Elements: countries 1.Developing a list of ~ 100 species with conservation concern: Purely through a preliminary consultation among experts of different countries 2. Compile distribution points from secondary sources 3. Niche Modeling to develop potential distribution maps

32 Kneema attenuata

33 A Proposal: Digital Database on RET Plants across Asian countries Work Elements: 1.Developing a list of ~ 100 species with conservation concern: Purely through a preliminary consultation among experts of different countries 2. Compile distribution points from secondary sources 3. Niche Modeling to develop potential distribution maps 4. Field search for the population in the predicted area 5. Develop databases and distribution maps

34 Expected Output: 1. A digital database on the 100 RETS of Asia Maps; Images; common names A digital ID kit and a field book 2. A Strategic paper on International collaboration for conservation of select RET species A strategic plan for conservation
