24 Feb 2023 --- Rhodiola has been added to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) to ensure sustainable harvesting and trade of the species. Companies trading and marketing Rhodiola products must determine if and how they comply with CITES requirements, such as obtaining export permits. Growing demand and uncontrolled harvesting have led to declines in wild populations of the main species in the genus Rhodiola rosea and Rhodiola crenulata. As it is difficult to identify specific species, the whole genus has been listed.
