rare plant species

Rare plant species are plants that are found in very limited areas or numbers, making them uncommon and often vulnerable to threats like habitat loss, climate change, or invasive species. Their rarity can be due to specialized growth needs, environmental changes, or historic declines. Protecting rare plants is important for maintaining biodiversity, as they contribute unique genetic material and ecological roles within their ecosystems. Conservation efforts often focus on preserving their natural habitats and preventing extinction, ensuring these unique species continue to thrive and contribute to the planet's ecological diversity.
