23-12-2013 - Pokemeboy
Acacia anegadensis is a Critically Endangered plant species, endemic to the British Virgin Islands. Although locally abundant on the island of Anegada, the future of this species is not guaranteed. Its main habitat is under extreme pressure for residential and tourism development. This project will investigate the distribution and genetic diversity of A. anegadensis, which is vital knowledge to inform conservation actions.

23-12-2013 - Strydom's yam
Dioscorea strydomiana is only known from one location and there are fewer than 250 extant mature individuals. The extremely restricted range and small population size, combined with a very long reproductive cycle, weak recruitment, a major threat from harvesting for medicinal purposes, all make this yam extremely threatened - the most highly threatened yam in the world.

30-09-2013 - Chilenito
The present study aims to explore the demographic tendencies of Eriosyce chilensis, a species distributed in an extremely narrow coastal strip in the Mediterranean zone at central Chile. To infer the demographic tendencies of E. chilensis we will conduct detailed mapping of the species distribution, filogeographic analyses and reproductive experiments.

This project is about to support and empowered local communities surrounding Analavelona sacred forest to conserve its natural ecosystems through sustainable use of natural resources. So farmers keep use grassland surrounding the forest as pasture but find a strategy to prevent the fire use to renew pasture to spread and destroy forest boundary.

Kingiodendron pinnatum (DC.) Harms (Family: Caesalpiniaceae), an endangered species and population is under threat due to habitat degradation and unscientific overexploitation of the oleo-resin and timber. The present study is aimed at survey and documentation of population size, structure and dynamics of species in Western Ghats, Karnataka and awareness programme on its importance and problem associated with the species and conservation aspects

23-09-2012 - Large bellflower
Fewer than 50 large bellflowers survive on unstable cliffs of High Peak, St Helena. They are believed to hybridise extensively with the small bellflower (Wahlenbergia angustifolia), and are threatened with imminent extinction. This project aims to understand the hybridisation issues through genetic analyses and pollination studies. Once pure individuals have been identified, informed conservation plans will be produced and a cultivated breeding ...

20-09-2012 - Sinkhole Cycad
Montgomery Botanical Center, Belize Botanic Gardens, Florida International University, Green Hills Botanical Collections, and Ya’axche Conservation Trust will collaborate on in situ fieldwork to identify populations of Zamia prasina (now believed to be Zamia decumbens) a critically endangered species endemic to Belize. This rare sinkhole dwelling species is of great conservation concern, habitat is limited and plants are apparently being ...
