Lost Plant Kingdoms: 33 'Dark Spots' of Biodiversity

Scientists have identified 33 areas around the world that likely harbor thousands of undiscovered plant species, emphasizing the importance of conservation efforts.

These 'dark spots' are often biodiversity hotspots, meaning they are incredibly rich in plant life but are facing threats like habitat loss and climate change.

The unknown plants could hold valuable secrets for medicine, fuel, and other innovations, making their discovery and protection crucial.

This research aims to guide scientists to these hidden areas and help protect them before these unique species are lost forever.
