The study also exposes major assessment gaps in several Mediterranean regions and highlights the vulnerability of island endemics, often confined to tiny habitats and highly exposed to environmental change.

This research reinforces the urgent need to study and protect island wetlands, among the most vulnerable and least known ecosystems in the Mediterranean.

Findings show a large share of wetland flora is threatened, especially species in temporary wetlands and small inland humid zones—microhabitats with huge ecological value.

🌿 This year we concluded the two-year project “BioLitoral”, led by Joana Cursach with the participation of numerous researchers from BOTLAND. The goal was to deepen the study of two unique coastal species: the dune endemic Silene migjornensis and the micro-area coastal species Diplotaxis ibicensis.

🌿Super excited to attend the PIM🏝 Initiative meeting and present our past and future projects on islets! At @botland-uib.bsky.social, we’ll do our best to help improve understanding of how islet flora evolves and adapts to climate change. Many thanks for the invitation!

🌿 Femeniasia balearica is an endemic species of the Balearic Islands that, until recently, was considered the same in both Mallorca and Menorca. However, it has now been divided into two different subspecies: one for each island.

I was doing pollinator estimation stuff on a forest (see my profile pic) and I found myself looking at a Dianthus caryophyllus (among others, such as the ornamental Bellis in the back) The worst thing is that people do this thinking they are benefiting biodiversity and ecosysyems...😅
