福克兰群岛位于南大西洋，有171种原生植物群。虽然相对较高比例的本地植物群是保护的关注，这是认识不足，无论是在国内和国际上。通常情况下，受威胁的物种只是少数孤立的小种群，它们正面临着土地使用变化，特别是农业集约化带来的越来越大的压力。本文介绍了福克兰群岛的第一个国家红色数据清单，并概述了该群岛的23种受威胁植物，以及涵盖了与国家保护战略有关的另外16种植物。这份红色清单是在国家和国际一级承认和保护福克兰群岛受威胁的本土植物群的重要的第一步。
The Falkland Islands are situated in the South Atlantic and have a native flora of 171 vascular plant species. Although a relatively high proportion of the native flora is of conservation concern, this is poorly recognized, both nationally and internationally. Typically, threatened species occur as only a few small, isolated populations, and they are facing increasing pressure from land-use change, particularly agricultural intensification. This paper presents the first national Red Data List for the Falkland Islands, and provides an overview of the 23 threatened plants of the archipelago as well as covering another 16 species of relevance to the national conservation strategy. This Red List provides an important first step towards the recognition and conservation of the threatened native flora of the Falkland Islands at both the national and international level.
