Botanists globally are striving to reintroduce rare plants to combat extinction, with many species facing dire threats. For instance, the South African daisy Marasmodes undulata was thought extinct until a small population was found. Reintroducing such plants involves overcoming significant challenges, including limited botanical knowledge and funding, especially in the Global South. Scientists must learn specific germination conditions and protect young plants from various threats. Innovative projects are underway to secure the future of these species, emphasizing the importance of plant diversity in ecosystem restoration. As awareness grows, experts hope for increased funding to support these vital conservation efforts.
