The article discusses the efforts to save the endangered daisy tree, Scalesia cordata, from extinction on the Galapagos Islands. The tree is native to the Sierra Negra and Cerro Azul volcanos on southern Isabela and used to form a dense forest. However, due to land-use change, fires, and invasive plant species, the forest has significantly declined. In 2019, there were only around 300 individual trees left in the wild. Conservation efforts, including the control of invasive plants and the propagation of seedlings, have resulted in the recording of almost 2,000 S. cordata trees in October 2023. However, continued restoration efforts are needed to establish self-sustaining populations. [Extracted from the article]
