More than 20% of wild plants are estimated to be threatened with extinction, and a further 10% will become threatened if conservation action is not taken.

For many conservation initiatives success relies on the involvement of local people. Plant conservation can help to provide more sustainable livelihoods for the people involved and their communities, without depleting natural resources further.

With active community participation, local and regional conservation efforts can make a real difference in maintaining plant diversity and increasing biodiversity.
