Study on the Impact of Urbanization on Endangered Plant Populations and Protection Strategies

Abstract

With the acceleration of global urbanization, the ecological environment and biodiversity are facing unprecedented challenges. Especially endangered plant populations have been significantly affected. This study delves into the impact of urbanization on endangered plant populations, and takes Hainan wild rice as a case study to analyze the degree of damage to its habitat caused by urbanization and the difficulties in protection. Hainan wild rice originated in specific wetland areas in Hainan, but with the urban expansion, its habitat has been severely damaged and the population has sharply decreased. Based on this practical background, this study further proposes a series of conservation strategies, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive management and multi-party participation, aiming to provide practical guidance for the protection of endangered plant populations.
