The results show that within the last decades there was a recognizable decline in species-diversity and in species from the red list of endangered plants. These analyses show the threatening situation of endangerment to ...

Habitat conservation
Habitat conservation is a land management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitat areas for wild plants and animals, especially conservation reliant species, and prevent their extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range. It is a priority of many groups that cannot be easily characterized in terms of any one ideology.
