Full extent is unknown because there has been no full assessment and there is neither political will, nor funds nor movements to promote research in this critical to our survival area. 3. Botanical component of sixth great extinction appears is even more tragic. 4. Lucrative nature of exploitation of plant resources. 5. A psychopathic notion that plants are there to be unrepentantly exploited by humans without any remorse. Rates of plant extinctions are about double that of new additions.
