II. Native species of plants within this state and the nation that are endangered, threatened, or otherwise reduced in number or may become so because of loss, modification, or severe curtailment of their habitats, or because of exploitation for commercial, scientific, educational, or private use, should be accorded protection as is necessary to maintain and enhance their numbers. III. This state shall assist in the protection of species of plants that are determined to be endangered or threatened by prohibiting the taking, possession, transportation, processing, sale or offer for sale, exportation from this state, or shipment within this state of such species without required and valid federal and state permits. IV. The commercial sale of seeds, plants, and nursery stock is regulated by the New Hampshire department of agriculture, markets, and food under RSA 433.
