Centro Nacional de Conservação da Flora

[4] Conservation statuses of various Brazilian plant species is done by performing a risk assessment analysis, applying IUCN-recommended standards and procedures, then assigning said species to conservation categories[1][2][5][6] as dictated by the IUCN.

[1] As a result, the Brazilian government extended legal protection to a total of 2,113 species in 2014.

[2] Of approximately 36,400 native terrestrial vascular plants and bryophytes thought to grow in Brazil, 5,646 species had been evaluated as of December 2018.

6,029 assessments were carried out, but various taxa (classifications) later appeared to be synonyms or were unrecognized as valid species.

[2] In the summer of 2019, 6,046 of the 46,223 named plants (including aquatic plants, ferns, mosses, and algae) recorded in Brazil had been assessed, of which 2,953 were considered threatened (with a status of vulnerable to higher).
