    DescriptionSome 40% of the world’s species of plants are threatened with extinction, the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew says in a new report.

    Previous research in 2016 showed that 20% of plant species were under threat, but the “State of the World’s Plants and Fungi 2020” report, published Wednesday, draws on the work of 210 scientists from 42 countries to reveal the scale of the problem, using improved data and methodology.
