NEW CALEDONIA |

Organization: Noé |

With respectively 2,000 plant species (80% endemic) and 1,140 plant species (88% endemic), the humid forest and the mining scrubland are the two most diverse terrestrial environments in New Caledonia. Yet, these environments are in rapid decline in the face of fire, habitat fragmentation and invasive alien species. Palm trees and conifers are emblematic species of these environments but, today, half are threatened with extinction. |
