The pie chart illustrates the conservation status of plants worldwide, while the bar chart shows the proportion of plant species at risk across different habitats.
Overall, it is clear that the majority of plants were classified as safe, whereas some species remained critically in danger among the surveyed plants. Notably, tropical wet forests had the highest percentage of threatened species, while the opposite was true in the case of the desert.
To elaborate, in terms of plants’ endangerment, an impressive nearly 65% of plants were considered safe, which means that these were protected carefully, while nearly 4% were critically endangered. Notably, vulnerable plants accounted for one-fifth of all the examined conditions, compared to over 10% combined for endangered species and those with insufficient data.
Regarding the habitations, the tropical wet forest was the most threatened, dominated by 63%, which was higher than that of the tropical dry forest by a gap of over 50%. The figures for other habitats were considerably lower, with respective figures being 7.7% for savanna compared to 4.5% for tropical dry grassland and 4.3% for wetlands. While the share of tropical wet grassland and desert was still made up for no more than 2% each, making these the least in danger species among the examined ones
