Threatened Plants of 2018
06 December 2018
Plants and flowers can be wonderful subjects for photography and for their amazing ability to grow just about anywhere...unless you happen to be a threatened plant with specific habitat niches and facing an uphill battle to remain in the landscape. They can experience a range of threats including habitat loss, weed invasion, grazing, urban encroachment, infrastructure development or inappropriate fire regimes. Here are some of our finds this year. Enjoy!
