Motivation[edit]

South Africa is a megadiverse country and has fully assessed the status of its entire flora. 20 456 indigenous plant taxa were assessed and each given a conservation status. 13 265 of the assessed flora are endemic to South Africa. The majority are not in the IUCN Red List. Please see: Red List of South African Plants. Maqdisi (talk) 03:17, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

  •  Support I agree that this property is necessary. Similar to New Zealand, South Africa has undertaken threat classifications for its flora, most of which are not covered in the IUCN Red List. I think it is important to ensure that if species are assessed as being at risk, Wikidata should link to this information. However I also like ArthurPSmith's suggestion of pointing to similar existing conservation status properties and how Wikidata handles them.
  •  Support In reference to every country bio regions may make more sense to avoid regional differences in nomenclature. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 22:54, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It is definitely an useful property, thank you for the proposal. I do not oppose it, but I wonder if a single "conservation status" property with proper sources wouldn't make the model more flexible? Hopefully we will have conservation data from a myriad of sources. TiagoLubiana (talk) 13:46, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support It looks useful. There are a lot of taxa not covered in the IUCN Red List. --190.17.84.174 15:36, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
