Introduction to extinct plants

Plants can play many vital roles in the development of humankind, such as medicine, fuel, and food. However, the opportunity to use plants to solve global problems such as food security and climate change is being lost.

The report shows that only a small proportion of existing plant species are used as food and biofuels. However, more than 7000 edible plants are expected to become crops in the future, and about 2500 plants may provide energy for millions of people.

But Nowadays, about 571 kinds of plants are reported to be extinct in 2022. This is a terrible mistake and responsibility due to human activity.

According to Professor Alexander Antonelli, scientific director of the Royal Botanical Garden, said: "we may lose the race against time because species disappear faster than we find and name them."

Below are several plants that are extinct. I listed to remind everyone who comes to this website that plant resources are precious and to be kind to our friends.
