LIFE and endangered plants

Europe is blessed with a high rate of plant diversity, but despite their undeniable importance and aesthetic value, plants everywhere are under threat. This brochure explores the challenges for conservation of Europe’s endangered plants and highlights the role of the LIFE programme in helping to halt biodiversity loss, and to restore threatened habitats and natural systems. From Romania to northern Finland, France’s Seine Valley to Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountains, the Mediterranean to Macaronesia, LIFE has supported a range of successful projects, helping to restore habitats and to protect endangered plants.
