Answer:
yes
Explanation:
The conservation of plants has not generated the urgency that drives the conservation of animals, although plants are far more important for us. There are an estimated 500,000 species of land plants, with diversity strongly concentrated in the humid tropics. The major threats to plant diversity include habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation. Globally, the biggest conservation gap is in the hyperdiverse lowland tropics and this is where attention needs to be focused. The most urgent needs are for the completion of the global botanical inventory and an assessment of the conservation status of the 94% of plant species not yet evaluated.
