Airmid Institute Biannual List of Wild Threatened, Near Threatened, and CITES-Protected Plants, Mammals, Fungi, and Seaweed Species Used in Aromatherapy, Perfumery, and Aromatic Herbalism
The Airmid Biannual list, revised each January and July, is provided as a basis for the ethical sourcing of those species closer to facing extinction, and whose conservation statuses we know.
The list highlights species used in aromatherapy, perfumery, and aromatic herbalism. The list includes each species’ accepted taxonomic name, common names, synonyms, conservation status, assessment geographical scope, and year of assessment.
It also includes live links to Plants of the World Online (POWO), International Union for Conservations of Nature (IUCN), and Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI). Clicking these will take you off this site to their respective pages where you can find additional information about each species.
It is important to note that all species, regardless of conservation status, should be carefully sourced. Those species that do not yet have a conservation status warrant equal care, as assessments can take time to process and be made public. We therefore encourage reviewing current credible research.
