A number of plant species that were previously found in certain habitats in Pakistan are no longer present, including species from Sindh, Gilgit, Hunza Valley, Baltistan, Chitral, and the Indus Delta. Several plant species in Pakistan have gone extinct while many more are endangered. The government needs to take immediate action to conserve plants scientifically. Pakistan has a wide range of habitats from beaches to glaciers that support over 5,700 plant species, with 7.6% being endemic. Threats to plants include natural causes, population growth, habitat destruction, hunting, and pollution. Hong Kong also has a rich diversity of plants and animals due to its varied topography and subtropical climate.
Protected & Endangered species of plant ppt by G.S.ShaktawatG.S Shaktawat
The earth contains a huge number of different plants/animal species and there are many species that are endangered and should be protected. In this presentation, I had tried to include different plant species that are endangered with the laws, locations, cause & protection ideas. So, plz have a look at this.

Wildlife management techniques and methods of wildlife conservationAnish Gawande
Wildlife Conservation is the practice of protecting wild plant and animal species and their habitat. Wildlife plays an important role in balancing the environment and provides stability to different natural processes of nature. The goal of wildlife conservation is to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and also to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness for humans and other species alike. Many nations have government agencies and NGO's dedicated to wildlife conservation, which help to implement policies designed to protect wildlife. Numerous independent non-profit organizations also promote various wildlife conservation causes.
Wildlife conservation has become an increasingly important practice due to the negative effects of human activity on wildlife. An endangered species is defined as a population of a living species that is in the danger of becoming extinct because the species has a very low or falling population, or because they are threatened by the varying environmental or prepositional parameters.
Phytogeography is concerned with all aspects of plant distribution, from the controls on the distribution of individual species ranges to the factors that govern the composition of entire communities and floras.
IUCN is a globally important organisation for the conservation of nature and its resources. It is well known for Red data book. the species of organisms around the globe is grouped into several categories according to their need for conservation.

Biodiversity:
Biodiversity is the variety and differences among living organisms from all sources ,including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystem sand the ecological complexes of which they area part.
It contains following details:
Biodiversity
Levels or types of Biodiversity
Values of Biodiversity
Hotspots of Biodiversity
Criteria of Determining Hotspots
Threats to Biodiversity
Conservation of Biodiversity
In situ Conservation
Ex situ Conservation
Importance of Biodiversity
this is the detail documents in which you will know the wild life in pakistan which include birds, mammals, reptiles, insects carnivorious, herbivorious etc
IAS are the second important aspect which causes biodiversity loss next to Habitat destruction. This PPT describes the impact of IAS mainly in aquatic ecosystem...
Hotspots of biodiversity—areas particularly rich in species, rare species,
threatened species, or some combination of these attributes—are increasingly
being delineated to help set priorities for conservation. Only recently have we
begun to test key assumptions that determine how useful a hotspot approach
can be for conservation planning. The evidence suggests that although at large
geographic scales hotspots do provide useful information for conservation
planning, at smaller scales their value may be more limited.

Biodiversity, a portmanteau of "biological diversity," generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth.
According to the United Nations Environment Programmers, biodiversity typically measures variation at the genetic, the species, and the ecosystem level.
Terrestrial biodiversity tends to be greater near the equator, which seems to be the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity. Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richest in the tropics.
3. ``
According to the scientest , a number of plant species earlier
recorded from specific habitats were no longer found. The list of
such plant species include Asparagus gharoensis (Sindh), Scaveola
plumererii (Sindh coast), Scaveola taccada (Sindh coast), Allium
gilgiticum (Gilgit), Arabidopsis brevicaulis (Hunza valley), Saxifraga
duthei (Baltistan), Cousinia matifeldei (Chitral), Taraxacum
chitralicum (Chitral), Pedicularis caeruleoalbescens (Chitral), Nepeta
schinidii (Chitral), Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (Indus delta) and
Sonneratia caseolaris (Indus delta).
4. A number of plant species in the country have become extinct
while many more are on the verge of extinction and the situation
demands that the government take immediate measures to
conserve plants on scientific lines. “
5. There is a coast and, at the same time we have some of the highest
mountains and the largest glaciers in the world. This is unique So far,
we have just explored 0.89 per cent of the total 5,700 species while 7.6
per cent (405) species are endemic belonging to 43 families. Around
700 plant species are endangered,”
6. 1- Natural death
2- Population pressure,
3- Destruction of wild life habitats
4- Hunting for food, sports and medicines
5- Pollution
7. According to topography and sub-tropical climate provide a wide range of
habitats to support a rich variety of flora and fauna. Scenically, it has a great
deal to offer- a landscape rising from sandy beaches and rocky foreshores to
a height of almost 1,000-metre high, woodlands and hilly areas covered by
open grassland and a variety of scenic vistas rarely matched in such a small
place.
In Hong Kong, there are more than 3,300 species of vascular plants, of
which about 2,100 are native; some 50 species of mammals; over 500
species of birds; about 80 species of reptiles and more than 20 amphibian
species. Insect diversity is also very high with more than 230 species of
butterflies and about 120 species of dragonflies.
8. To conserve local flora, fauna and natural habitats through offering
conservation advice on development proposals, planning strategies
and environmental impact assessment; law enforcement; research and
implementing biodiversity conservation plans; and identifying Sites of
Special Scientific Interest
conduct regular ecological surveys to take inventory and update the
status of our biodiversity assets and to establish an ecological
database for COUNTRY;
To conserve endangered species of animals and plants through
controlling their international trade
To promote public awareness and participation in nature conservation
through publicity and educational activities.
9. The first federal policy for the protection of endangered
species was the Endangered Species Preservation Act, passed
in 1966. This act was replaced in 1969 with the Endangered
Species Conservation Act, which acted to strengthen the
legislation. Finally, in 1973, the Endangered Species Act was
passed. This act was recently reauthorized.
10. Learn about endangered species in your area.
Visit a national wildlife refuge, park or other
open space .
Make your home wildlife friendly.
Native plants provide food and shelter for native
wildlife Herbicides and pesticides are in fact
hazardous pollutants that affect wildlife at many
levels.
Slow down when driving
Recycle and buy sustainable products.
Never purchase products made from threatened
or endangered species
Protect wildlife habitat.
