Отсутствие точной информации о статусе угрозы исчезновения вида препятствует его эффективному сохранению. Задача №2 Конвенции о биологическом разнообразии призывает к оценке статуса угрозы исчезновения на глобальном, национальном и региональном уровнях для выявления видов, представляющих неотложную проблему сохранения. В данной статье мы эмпирически оценили статус угрозы исчезновения трех ценных лекарственных видов растений (Trillium govanianum, Rheum tibeticum и Arnebia euchroma) посредством обширных полевых исследований и анализа гербарного материала в Кашмирских Гималаях и в Ладакхе, холодном пустынном регионе Транс-Гималаев. В соответствии с категориями и критериями Красного списка МСОП все целевые растения были оценены как виды, находящиеся в состоянии близком к угрожаемому (Near Threatened). Согласно оценке природоохранного статуса NatureServe, для каждого из этих видов общее влияние угроз было оценено от «Высокого» до «Очень высокого». Мы обнаружили, что антропогенные угрозы, исходящие от незапланированного экономического развития, строительства дорог и других проектов, связанных с инфраструктурой, способствуют быстрому сокращению естественных популяций этих трех видов. Принимая во внимание ценность этих видов с одной стороны, и растущие угрозы их исчезновению в дикой природе с другой стороны, мы призываем к срочным стратегиям их сохранения в уязвимых местах обитания в Гималаях на пути регионального социально-экономического развития.
