It is a primary objective of this initiative to support wild populations through fieldwork. The most common way we do this is by monitoring rare plant populations, many of which are not visited on a regular basis or may not have been visited in decades.
Recording information from wild populations increases our knowledge about the status of the population (whether it is likely extirpated, declining, or even increasing), the threats it is facing, and more. This added knowledge helps land managers and agencies best determine management needs and priorities to maintain wild populations. |
