The pie and bar chart illustrate the different plants how safe they are around the world and those that are under extinction in seven habitats.
Overall, many plants are safe, and the lowest percentage of extinction risk applies to only a few species, as well as to plants that have not yet been studied. Most of the plants that are under threat are found in forests.
Based on the data, worldwide the largest proportion of plant species are classified as safe, making up about 64% of all plants. This is followed by vulnerable species, which account for 20%. Endangered species make up 6%, and 4% are critically endangered. The smallest percentage consists of plant species that have not yet been fully studied.
According to the second data set, the largest number of threatened plant species is found in tropical rainforests, accounting for as much as 63%, which is significantly higher than in other habitats. In tropical dry forests, the percentage is only 12%, after which the level of threat continues to decrease. In dry savannas, the risk of extinction is 7.7%. Tropical dry grasslands and wetlands are at almost the same level, each accounting for about 4.7%. Deserts account for less than 1%, only 0.5%, due to the low diversity of plant life there.
