Endemic flora refers to plant species that are native to a specific geographic area and are not naturally found anywhere else. These plants have evolved over time in their unique environments, adapting to local climate, soil, and ecological conditions. Examples of regions with rich endemic flora include the Galápagos Islands and Hawaii, where many species have developed distinct characteristics. The conservation of endemic flora is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem health. When these plants are threatened by factors such as habitat loss, climate change, or invasive species, it can lead to significant ecological imbalances. Protecting endemic species helps preserve the unique natural heritage of their regions and supports overall environmental stability.
