“…Additionally, when proven relevant and accurate enough, rates of recent change values might eventually also be included in the decision tree that leads up to the final species extinction risk status. The combination of high rates of recent change within tree species’ extent, the likely amplification from spatial overlap in threats, and the mismatch with current species’ IUCN Red List statuses implies that (1) tree species labeled as Not Threatened are not sensitive to the studied threats (yet genetic diversity may be decreasing) 76 or (2) these species require a IUCN Red List re-evaluation. On the other hand, the 17,393 species that were identified for prioritization include only 63.9% of all Threatened species and 60.8% of all Vulnerable species, suggesting that (3) threatened species with lower rates of recent change values may be more sensitive to specific threats or (4) threats can be harmful even with low rates of recent change.…”

Trees are pivotal to global biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people, yet accelerating global changes threaten global tree diversity, making accurate species extinction risk assessments necessary. To identify species that require expert-based re-evaluation, we assess exposure to change in six anthropogenic threats over the last two decades for 32,090 tree species. We estimated that over half (54.2%) of the assessed species have been exposed to increasing threats. Only 8.7% of these species are considered threatened by the IUCN Red List, whereas they include more than half of the Data Deficient species (57.8%). These findings suggest a substantial underestimation of threats and associated extinction risk for tree species in current assessments. We also map hotspots of tree species exposed to rapidly changing threats around the world. Our data-driven approach can strengthen the efforts going into expert-based IUCN Red List assessments by facilitating prioritization among species for re-evaluation, allowing for more efficient conservation efforts.

“…Citizen science plays an important role in plant conservation. Volunteers record the plants they see and publish them on the website, including photos, discovery dates and coordinates, which can help people discover and protect species, thereby helping to achieve the ambitious goal of zero plant extinction [62]. It is mentioned in Goal A for 2050 of GBF, that is "human-induced extinction of known threatened species is halted".…”

Biodiversity plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the earth. The study of traditional knowledge related to biological resources is a hot issue in the field of international biodiversity conservation. Xishuangbanna is a key area of biodiversity and a cultural hotspot of international significance. According to the Technical Regulation for Classification, Investigation, and Inventory of Traditional Knowledge Relating to Biological Diversity issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, we investigated and catalogued the traditional knowledge related to biodiversity of the Jino people who have lived in Xishuangbanna for generations, and collected 490 entries of traditional knowledge related to biodiversity of the Jino people. Drawing on the traditional knowledge diversity index calculation method proposed by Wang Guoping, the overall traditional knowledge α-diversity index of the Jino people is 0.63, indicating that the richness of the traditional knowledge of the Jinuo people is relatively high. The traditional culture related to biodiversity, the traditional knowledge related to agricultural genetic resources, and the traditional technology related to the sustainable utilization of biological resources are relatively rich and diverse. The diversity index is 0.86, 0.82 and 0.79 respectively. In addition, Xishuangbanna has invested a lot of energy in biodiversity protection, including the establishment of nature reserves, botanical gardens, zoos, ecological tea gardens and other species reserves, the promulgation of laws and policies related to biodiversity protection, and has achieved remarkable results in in-situ protection and ex-situ protection. On the basis of analyzing the progress and achievements of biodiversity conservation in Xishuangbanna, this study points out that Xishuangbanna faces challenges such as the loss of traditional knowledge, insufficient conservation efforts, and great changes in land use, and puts forward corresponding suggestions.
