Preserving existing plant resources

Description

Preserving existing plant resources involves implementing measures to protect native and cultivated plant species from threats such as habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, and climate change. This strategy includes establishing protected areas, enforcing sustainable harvesting practices, conserving genetic diversity through seed banks, and restoring degraded habitats. Its practical intent is to maintain ecosystem stability, ensure food security, and safeguard medicinal and economic plant resources for current and future generations.
