I have never come accros this organisation but if Galanthus nivalis were not
CITES, as I understand it is, along with other species of snowdrop, I could
send thousands of garden sourced bulbs to anyone who wanted them, removing
the presure on wild populations from unscrupulous collector/ vendors and the
same principle applies to other protected plants.
