5 of the World's Rarest and Most Endangered Plants
Western Underground Orchid
A plant that spends its entire life living underground in Western Australia
Pitcher plant
Otherworldly plants that only inhabit small sections of South American rainforests, and require extremely high humidity and moisture to survive
Western Underground Orchid
Plant that spends its entire life living underground
Gets its energy and nutrients from fungus and the broom honeymyrtle
Flowers stay underground with the root system
Only about 50 known to exist across six populations in Australia
Pitcher plant
Looks like a pitcher and can grow to enormous sizes
Only inhabit small sections of South American rainforests
Require extremely high levels of precipitation to grow
Carnivorous - trap prey by luring it to the rim of the pitcher area with nectar, and the slippery surface causes the prey to fall in
Drown, dissolve and absorb nutrients from prey, mostly insects but also small mammals
Jellyfish tree
Growing only in Seychelles, a group of islands off the coast of East Africa
Has one of the smallest habitats of any plant
Twice thought to be extinct but rediscovered in the wild
Gets its name from its fruit, which resembles a jellyfish
Seeds don't germinate in its natural habitat, current population is quite old
Corpse flower
Emits a scent that many describe as smelling like decomposition
Can grow up to 20 feet tall and 16 feet wide, weighing hundreds of pounds
Can take up to a decade to bloom, with subsequent blooms at irregular intervals of 7-10 years
Only has a pollination window of about one or two days
Wood's cycad
Believed to be completely extinct in the wild, with all living specimens being clones grown from clippings taken from a few surviving specimens
Native to South Africa, looks like a typical palm tree with a wide, sturdy trunk up to 20 feet tall
Has both male and female varieties but a female plant has never been discovered, so they can't reproduce naturally
Protecting our world's fragile ecosystems has never been more important
These rare plants are the focus of conservation efforts to prevent them from going extinct
Endangered animals
Known as "charismatic megafauna" - have star power that conservationists capitalize on to fund projects to protect them and the other organisms in their ecosystems
People are more likely to donate to save adorable or magnificent animals than lesser-known species
The current population of giant pandas in the wild is fewer than 2,500 individuals
Poaching and habitat loss are the main threats to tigers, with probably fewer than 4,000 left in the wild
Whooping crane populations were severely depleted by hunting and habitat loss, but have recovered to over 400 birds thanks to breeding programs
The current population of blue whales, the largest animals on the planet, is thought to have been reduced by up to 90% by whaling in the 20th century
The population of Asian elephants, which inhabit 13 countries, is estimated to be around 40,000-50,000, with over 50% concentrated in India
Sea otters are an endangered species
Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus)
Inhabit 13 countries, current population around 40,000-50,000, over 50% concentrated in India, poached for ivory, meat and skin
Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris)
Luxurious waterproof coat led to near extinction due to commercial fur trade, population recovered to a third of earlier numbers but still vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic factors
Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia)
Probably fewer than 6,500 remain in the wild, largest populations in China and Mongolia, prey on blue sheep and ibex, threatened by poaching and overhunting of prey
Gorilla (Gorilla beringei and Gorilla gorilla)
Two species or three subspecies, all endangered with only around 220,000 left in the wild, threatened by habitat encroachment and poaching
Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii)
Population dropped 60% between 1996-2008 due to contagious cancer, only around 10,000 wild individuals remaining, captive breeding and vaccine development efforts underway
Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus)
Fewer than 60,000 remaining, restricted to Borneo and Sumatra, threatened by logging and exotic pet trade, usually solitary or in small groups making them difficult to track and study
Individual specimens and the collection of genetic and migration data is done to better understand the species, which remains at risk from ship collisions and entanglement in fishing nets
Flora - ay tawag sa mga halamang nabubuhay sa isang partikular na lugar o panahon
flora - Ito ay ang mga pananim na kolektibong tumutubo sa isang lugar at pana-panahon din kung umusbong o yumabon
May matatagpuang 3000 uri ng iba‘t-ibang puno sa bansa katulad ng Lumber, Tanguile, Yakal, Tindal at Kamagong;
Mayroong humigit kumulang 8,500 uri ng mga bulaklak;
1,000 Ferns, 8000 uri ng Orchids, 800 na matatagpuan sa ating kagubatan
Katutubo o Indehinus a. Pang-agrikultura – sinadyang itinanim ng mga tao para sa isang tiyak na layunin. b. Garden o Horticultural – mga halamang pandekorasyon.
