Abstract

The North American Regional Orchid Specialist Group (NAROSG) was established in 1999 by the IUCN/Species Survival Commission/Orchid Specialist Group to serve an action-planning function toward the conservation of native orchids in the continental USA and Canada. After several years of email communication, the inaugural meeting of NAROSG was held in conjunction with the Second International Orchid Conservation Congress at Selby Gardens in May 2004. Six action items were selected, ranging from website additions and flagship orchid species to Red-listing and building a knowledge database.
