Endangered species are those at high risk of extinction due to threats such as habitat loss, climate change, invasive species, and overexploitation, as assessed by frameworks like the IUCN Red List. In plant science, understanding and identifying endangered flora is critical for preserving biodiversity, protecting unique genetic resources, and maintaining ecosystem functions that depend on plant communities. Conservation research helps guide habitat protection, seed banking, and restoration efforts to prevent irreplaceable plant lineages from being lost permanently.
