There are too many to thank here

The work to develop these 9-Step guidance documents and courses has been generously supported by BfN with money from the German Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.

We would like to thank all who contributed to the development of these Guidelines, including those that have provided invaluable expertise to the development of the 9-Step Perennial Plants guide and the “CITES Non-detriment Findings for Timber – Guidance for EU-member States”. Special thanks go to the participants of the workshop to revise the BfN Non-detriment Finding Guidance for Timber and through that provided cast study input. We particularly thank Dr Uwe Schippmann and Dr Danna Leaman for their pivotal work on the development of the original version of the 9-Step guidance. We also thank Noel McGough for his unswerving support for the development of the 9 Steps and his collaboration in training workshops. Finally, we thank Marcus Cornthwaite for the development of these e-courses.
