Falklands' Threatened Plants

This project has been set up by Falklands Conservation as a place to record the distribution of globally and nationally threatened plant species of the Falkland Islands.

These observations will help everyone interested in understanding and conserving our threatened plants. For example they can inform building projects, land stewardship, ecological research and restoration.

We hope they may also be the start of fun days out exploring (remember you need land-owner permission to access private land).
