A POPULATION OF LYCHNOPHORA ERICOIDES MART. (ARNICA) (ASTERACEAE) IS PRONE TO EXTINCTION IN A SAVANNA OF CENTRAL BRAZIL

“

Our perspective with this work is to implement conservation actions to change the status of this population. Firstly, we intend to reassess conservation status and insert this information into the threatened species assessment system, which is currently conducted by the Flora Conservation Center / / Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden. It will be the first time that we will include demographic data in this system. Another action concerns the holding of a technical meeting with all the actors involved to prepare a recovery plan for Lychnophora ericoides populations in the Brazilian savanna. In Brazil, examples of in situ recovery of endangered plant populations are still rare. We will be moving ahead as plant recovery is one of the commitments of the CBD / Global Plant Strategy signatory countries.
