“…Bhadraraj (Mussoorie Forest Division), Morthat and Khadamba (Chakrata Forest Division) of the district Dehradun, Uttarakhand with overall 44% success rate. Similar ndings, under species speci c recovery programme, were also obtained in Semecarpus kathalekanensis (Vasudeva et al 2003), Hubbardia heptaneuron (Yadav et al 2009), Ceropegia fantastica (Chandore et al 2010) and Buchanania barberi (Dhyani et al 2022).…”

“…Similar efforts were also made in India, particularly in the Western Ghats, to reintroduce four critically endangered and endemic species into wild viz. S. kathalekanensis (Vasudeva et al 2003), Hubbardia heptaneuron Bor, a monospeci c and endemic genus on the verge of extinction, Ceropegia fantastica (Yadav et al 2009) and Buchanania barberi Gamble, a critically endangered tree endemic to the south Western Ghats of Kerala (Dhyani et al 2022).…”

Gentiana kurroo Royle (Gentianaceae), a highly medicinal, critically endangered and endemic species of the Western Himalayas with restricted distribution in India and Pakistan. The perspective focuses on the ex-situ mass multiplication and in-situ conservation of the species through reintroduction under the species recovery initiative. The integration of effective conservation strategies viz macro and micro and intervention of modern technological tools for in-situ restoration of species were invoked. The macro propagation was carried out through seed germination and vertically segregating the profusely branched tuft of plants into small tufts along with the rhizome. The species was micro propagated through axillary bud explants in MS medium fortified with 4.4 µM BAP and 0.53 µM NAA was found to be the optimum for shoot induction having 98.23% of shoot formation with 11.32 mean shoot number per culture and shoot length of 4.6 cm. Shoots rooted in half strength MS medium supplemented with IBA (4.9 µM) and 0.3% activated charcoal. Profuse rooting with average 24.58 roots per shoot was reported after 3-weeks of incubation. The plants were acclimatized in the glass house and were finally transferred to the open environment with 83% survival percentage. Under the species reintroduction and recovery programs, the propagated saplings were introduced into three different wild habitats located in Chakrata and Mussoorriee forest divisions of Uttarakhand and 44% survival was reported after six months of field transfer. The research demonstrates the successful coherence of ex-situ propagation methods with in-situ conservation through reintroduction initiatives. The efforts might be helpful in in-situ preservation of the germplasm and simultaneously to cater the escalating medicinal requirements of Gentiana kurroo.

“…Hills et al (2022) assessed the risk of extinction of six under‐studied genera that have ethnobotanical uses, enabling the establishment of conservation priorities. Dhyani et al (2022) endeavoured to reintroduce the Critically Endangered Buchanania barberi , a tree species that is endemic to the south Western Ghats (a UNESCO World Heritage site) in Kerala, India that has just two mature individuals remaining. In their study, Yang et al (2022) presented a compelling case of how conservation techniques and research were employed to rescue the critically endangered tree species Acer yangbiense , resulting in it becoming one of the most successful conservation stories.…”

The publication of the State of the World's Trees (BGCI, 2021) has reinforced the growing recognition of the importance of trees and forests to Earth's environmental sustainability. Trees perform vital functions for human society, from basic carbon sequestration to making cities more livable. Trees create rich, multi-dimensional habitats for animals, fungi, and other plants. Essentially, human societies and economies rely on the health and diversity of our planet's trees (Rivers et al., 2022, this issue). With the publication of the Global Tree Assessment, we are gaining a comprehensive understanding of the threat status of trees, allowing us to prioritize conservation efforts and create more effective strategies. In this special issue of Plants, People, Planet, a compelling representation of the complex, multi-faceted, and rapidly changing issues addressed by the Global Tree Assessment is provided.The 13 articles include investigations from a number of different viewpoints and scales, from national assessments of highly diverse but relatively poorly known floras to a single protected area, from a taxonomic focus on a single important family to carefully selected but completely known groups of species, and even specific practical issues involved in the reintroduction and restoration of an endangered species.The paper by Barstow et al. (2022) focuses on the assessment of more than 90% of tree species that are endemic to Papua New Guinea. The study provides valuable information on the risk of extinction, major threats, and the conservation and research needs of the country's tree flora. The contribution by Chua et al. (2022) sheds light on the current state of knowledge regarding extinction risk to tree species in Malaysia (one of world's top megadiverse countries for tree species). The study highlights the extent and types of extinction risk faced by several keystone tree families, namely, Dipterocarpaceae,
