Abstract:

Many wild Korean plant species have become endangered mainly due to human activities, and particularly the Korean war in the early 1950's, as well as by the rapid industralization in the 1960's. Other major threats come as a result of human impacts, such as the mass illegal collections in the wild for medicinal or ornamental purposes and habitat disturbances due to recreational activities The present conservation activities of Korean rare and endangered plant species were introduced. Among the species in the wild of Korea, the conservation criteria were applied to evaluate the conservation values. Habitat or species restoration for rare and endangered species were applied for some species in Korea, and these works will increase dramatically in the near future. Modern methods of recovery plan for Abeliophyllum distichum NAKAI, Oleaceae, to restore the wild habitats was also introduced.
