COSTA, Esperança da et al. Plantas ameaçadas em Angola - estado actual. RILP [online]. 2019, vol.35, pp.31-43. Epub 29-Jul-2021. ISSN 2182-4452. https://doi.org/10.31492/2184-2043.rilp2018.35/pp.31-43.
Introduction: The high biodiversity loss observed worldwide is cause for concern. Angola owns a high biodiversity with about 8,000 cataloged plant species. However, it presents some biomas with sign of “stress”, with areas of degradation, being necessary the inventory of endangered species. In 2002, a work carried out under the Southern African Biodiversity Study Program, SABONET, identified about 32 species. An effort to publish a list of threatened Angolan plants resulted in a publication in 2009, evaluating 97 plant species. New studies were developed, with the realization of phytoecological inventories in several provinces of the country. New degraded areas have been identified and new taxa are included in the list of threatened plants of Angola. Species such as Julbernardia gossweileri, Diospyros mespiliformis, Tylosema fassoglensis, Uapaca benguelensis, Uapaca gossweileri are listed as endangered for the first time, according to the categories proposed by IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature).
