Exciting news! Our latest article on #Island #PlantDiversity is now also featured on The Conversation: More than 20% of Earth’s plant species are found only on islands – and time is running out to save them #ecology #biodiversity #conservation #botany #species #wildlife #ocean

New research: We show that #islands host 1/3 of the world’s #plant species. With 63,280 endemic species, islands are #biodiversity hotspots. Yet only 6% meet global #conservation goals @patrickweigelt.bsky.social @lrcai.bsky.social @biogeokreft.bsky.social #Nature #Botany #Ecology #evolution

Islands are key for protecting the world’s plants: 21% of global plant diversity (>63000 species) are island endemics. Among those with IUCN conservation status, 51% are threatened, and 55% of all documented plant extinctions occurred on islands. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
