Endemic plant species, confined to specific geographic regions, represent unique biodiversity assets crucial for ecosystem stability and human welfare. This paper examines the conservation status of endemic plant species in India, exploring their definition, characteristics, and distribution across key biodiversity hotspots. It evaluates primary threats such as habitat loss, climate change impacts, and human activities, and reviews conservation efforts including governmental policies, NGO initiatives, and community-based conservation approaches. Case studies illustrate conservation strategies and outcomes for select species, highlighting successes, ongoing challenges, and future directions for effective endemic species conservation in India.
