Protection of Plant Biodiversity in the Light of International Law

Abstract

Plants are an integral part of the living organism of nature. Protection of plant biodiversity is essential to ensure the health of ecosystems. The natural world is characterised by cyclical and mutually complementary processes. If the self-regenerative capacity of nature is disturbed, it results in a breach of the biological balance in the ecosystem and the human environment of life. The rapid degradation of natural habitats prompts one to analyse the existing plant protection mechanism. This paper will analyse environmental regulations and standards, which may be the basis for reforming protection programmes.
