Very uneven distribution, and/or gradual decline in population, and/or destruction of habitats, and/or (for things like clubmosses, which go to funereal wreaths, secondary stuffing in bouquets and Easter decorations) largely unknown distribution and very slow recruitment of new plants.
In general your presentation doesn't give me the impression that this is a very important issue, especially given what currently happens in the Ukraine.
I don't know to what extent that's due to your presentation of the issue or inherent to the issue. If you want to achieve something on the issue it might be necessary to spent energy on developing talking points that illustrate that it's an important issue.
Notice I never said it is. (And please stop adding 'the', it is seen by Ukrainians as 'they are still referring to us as 'the Edge' after all these years'.) My goal was not to present the issue competitively, but to show a situation where donating money leads to, say, climate change activism (which I think is less efficient) and donating manpower - to a regular, structured, and much more integrated into existing legal infrastructure campaign.
Given the current situation, donating money [to war-related issues] is very efficient iff you know it is not a scam. But there is a vast need for specialized volunteering, too (housing people, rehabilitating invalids, journalism, etc.)
