Global shortfalls in threat assessments for endemic flora by country

چکیده
Societal Impact Statement Plants are fundamental to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems key human livelihoods. To protect plant diversity, systematic approaches conservation assessment needed. Many nations have legislation or other policy instruments that seek biodiversity (including plants), species-level assessments essential for identifying the most threatened species require special immediate protection measures. Some plants occur in only one place (for instance, a single country) here we estimated how many of these ‘endemic’ had their threats assessed each country close country-equivalent worldwide. We show level completion is weakly related income countries likely threat face. Summary The Global Strategy Plant Conservation ambitiously called an status all recognised taxa by 2020. This target was not met short term. Nevertheless, need remains urgent as go extinct face increasing from impacts on biosphere. Here, completeness endemic flora 179 equivalents assessed. do so, distribution information World Checklist Vascular combined with collated ThreatSearch database. expected be associated objective affluence (measured using inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI)) and/or exposure Modification index (GHM)). number per also hypothesised influence assessments.

Climate threat on the Macaronesian endemic bryophyte flora
Oceanic islands are of fundamental importance for the conservation of biodiversity because they exhibit high endemism rates coupled with fast extinction rates. Nowhere in Europe is this pattern more conspicuous than in the Macaronesian biogeographic region. A large network of protected areas within the region has been developed, but the question of whether these areas will still be climatically...
متن کاملProtected area connectivity: Shortfalls in global targets and country-level priorities
Connectivity of protected areas (PAs) is crucial for meeting their conservation goals. We provide the first global evaluation of countries' progress towards Aichi Target 11 of the Convention on Biological Diversity that is to have at least 17% of the land covered by well-connected PA systems by 2020. We quantify how well the terrestrial PA systems of countries are designed to promote connectivi...
متن کاملFuture of Endemic Flora of Biodiversity Hotspots in India
India is one of the 12 mega biodiversity countries of the world, which represents 11% of world's flora in about 2.4% of global land mass. Approximately 28% of the total Indian flora and 33% of angiosperms occurring in India are endemic. Higher human population density in biodiversity hotspots in India puts undue pressure on these sensitive eco-regions. In the present study, we predict the futur...
