PlantsSuccess of projectHighly Successful Successful Partially Successful FailureReason(s) for success/failure: The active involvement of local people: The pollination biological researchneeds exact bio-temperature observation. Every year, local people helpobserve and record the flower and fruit bio-temperature of M.longipedunculata. With their help, we can successfully carry out the pollinationbiological research and collect the fruits which developed from artificial crosspollinationon time. Basic scientific research of target species: The re-introduction should bebased on the scientific planning, appropriate technology, ecology, biology,genetics, available data or references, policy or regulations, social economicsand local attitudes. A strong working group: Besides local communities collaborating withgovernment, international organizations, institutes or botanical gardens is alsovery important for a successful re-introduction. Selection of seedlings for re-introduction: This is very important, including theage structure, height, quality, source and the genetic diversity of seedlings. Post - planting monitoring: The re-introduced plants should be managed andmonitored regularly, including the monitoring of growth status, survival rate ofre-introduced plants, community structure, etc. Stakeholder workshop and training: Students, staff in nature reserve and localpeople should be trained for implementing the project.ReferencesCicuzza, D., Newton, A. & Oldfield, S.
