With more than 19,800 species of plants under the scope of the Temperate South American Plant Specialist Group (TSAPSG), and considering that the SSC strategic plan indicates that the assessment of plants needs to be substantially enlarged to represent adequately the diversity of life, we are focusing our efforts to assess: endemic species, whose vulnerability is more likely because of their restricted distribution; wild-harvested species, which are currently ...
Our focus is on endemic species, which are vulnerable owing to their limited distribution; wild-harvested species, which are subject to a variety of pressures of use; and trees. We expect by the end of 2020 to assess 216 new species and to improve our Red List assessment procedures.
To inform conservation efforts, TSAPSG assesses species for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
