Bryophyte Specialist Group (IUCN SSC)

The Bryophyte Specialist Group [BSG] is one of 130 Specialist Groups of the IUCN Species Survival Commission [SSC] who work for the conservation and long-term survival of all organisms globally. One of the key tools of the SSC are the IUCN Red Lists that assess the risk of extinction of the organisms.
