In the work that we and our partners undertake to conserve and recover vulnerable species, awareness of the efforts we take for native plants is often overshadowed by the interest received by animal species. Too often overlooked is the fact that plants provide the foundation upon which animal life, including our own, depends. Plants are not only of aesthetic value, they provide us with food, many medicines, vital ecosystem services, and a variety of other products that are essential to our economy and well being. Fortunately, we have an important partner in the protection of our nation's imperiled flora, the Center for Plant Conservation. This edition of the Endangered Species Bulletin features some of the Center's progress in restoring these rare plant species.
