Endangered plant species are plants that are at risk of extinction due to various factors, including habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species. These plants play crucial roles in their ecosystems, providing food and shelter for wildlife, and contributing to biodiversity. Conservation efforts aim to protect these vulnerable species through habitat restoration, legal protection, and cultivation in botanical gardens. Organizations like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) monitor endangered plants and raise awareness about their importance in maintaining ecological balance.
