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

Dr. Sandra Clair, a highly qualified Registered Medical Herbalist and founder of Artemis, challenges the 'lack of evidence' claim for plant-based medicines. She asserts that ample longstanding clinical proof supports their efficacy, advocating for global access to traditional plant medicine for human health.

With a background in Switzerland, where plant medicine is mainstream, and a PhD in Health Sciences, Dr. Clair dedicates her research to validating centuries-old plant medicine expertise for modern healthcare. Learn more about TEDx here.

Skyelark Ranch, owned and operated by UC Davis graduate Alexis Robertson and her husband Gillies, utilizes rotational sheep grazing. This practice significantly benefits plant growth, drought resistance, and the climate.

The grazing encourages plant growth, which captures atmospheric carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. This carbon is then stored in the soil, promoting healthier ecosystems and reducing atmospheric CO2 levels.

The plant-based food sector has exploded, yet many still prefer real meat. What if plant-based alternatives tasted identical? Chef Gustav Johansson argues this shift is already happening.

In his TEDx talk and cook-along, Johansson demonstrates how closely mimicking animal-based dishes, like a burger and shake, is crucial for a swift transition to a sustainable diet.

A renowned cookbook author and award-winning blogger, Gustav Johansson simplifies tasty vegetarian food. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

FAO’s Third Report on the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture underscores plant diversity as crucial for future agrifood systems. This video illustrates how plant genetic resources—found in the wild, on farms, and in genebanks—enable nutritious crops resilient to pests, diseases, and climate extremes. It highlights global conservation efforts and the vital roles of farmers, scientists, and institutions.

Stronger policies, innovation, and awareness are essential to protect this diversity and build sustainable food systems. Learn more: FAO Plant Production and Protection. Subscribe: YouTube.
