Conservation Series
So far seven books have been published in the series, with another two in press (one about the international woodcarving trade, and one about writing floras). The final book from the People and Plants programme will be an introduction to plant conservation. People and Plants International intends to continue the series in the future.

Videos
The latest video (Carving a Future) looks at woodcarving, which adds more value to wood than the timber industry, often creating more jobs and income for local people. This video provides 10 lessons aimed at developing sustainable woodcarving enterprises.
