Plants are essential for life, yet their critical importance is often overlooked. Globally, nearly 16,000 plant species face extinction, with only 11% assessed. In the U.S. alone, over 900 plants are endangered, and 70 more await protection.

The Center actively works to protect imperiled plants across the country, from deserts to rainforests and swamps. Join our upcoming webinar to learn about our vital efforts to save endangered plants and discover how you can contribute.

The presentation will feature Hawaii Director Maxx Phillips and Senior Scientist Ileene Anderson. For more on Hawaii's plant extinction crisis, watch this Great Big Story video: https://youtu.be/XFAQeyUfiAc

Host Jeff Corwin celebrates the Endangered Species Act (ESA), landmark 1973 legislation protecting vulnerable wildlife and ecosystems. The bald eagle, once near extinction, exemplifies the ESA's success, having recovered and now thriving across the U.S.

The ESA also protects sea turtles, with Florida's beaches being globally vital nesting sites. Conservation efforts, like Boca Raton's beachfront parks, are crucial. While only 1 in 10,000 hatchlings survive to adulthood, protecting their habitat allows these keystone species to flourish. All six sea turtle species nesting in America are protected by the ESA.
