Up to 45 per cent of all known flowering plant species across the globe could be under threat of extinction with the plant family Orchidaceae (orchids) among the most threatened, according to a new report. Kew's State of the World's Plants and Fungi (SOTWPF) 2023 report, published today, tackles the nature emergency by laying out the current condition of the world's plants and fungi. Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, contributed to the report with CSIRO orchid researcher, Dr Katharina Nargar, a senior author of the report's chapter on orchids.
