Ecosystem Components - Endemic Plant Diversity

Endemic plants are those plants found only in Canada. These plants have genetically adapted to these particular environmental conditions. Because these are found nowhere else, Canada has a special obligation to ensure these plants do not become extinct. The map shows the number of endemic plants per ecoregion from the 93 known nationally endemic vascular plants according to their known presence within each of the 194 terrestrial ecoregions of Canada.
