DE LA CRUZ SILVA, Horacio; ZEVALLOS POLLITO, Percy A.  y  VILCAPOMA SEGOVIA, Graciela. Conservation "status" of the wild vegetal species of traditional use in the province of Canta, Lima-Peru. Ecol. apl. [online]. 2005, vol.4, n.1-2, pp.9-16. ISSN 1726-2216.

Conservation status of 104 species of traditional use from the Province of Canta, Lima were determined. This study was performed during 2003, 2004 and 2005, following the CDC ( 1991 ) and UICN ( 1998 & 2002 ) methodologies modified according to the requirements of the region and national conditions of Peru. The variables taken into consideration were: geographic distribution, abundance, antiquity of collections, location in exposed areas, extrativism, endemism, confinement; presence in conservation and protection units in situ. The results show that 22 species ( 21,2 % ) are endemic for Peru and one is endemic for Canta. The following was also found: 35 are threatened species ( 33.7% ) of which 24 species ( 23.1% ) are in critical danger ( CR ), 4 species in danger ( IN ) ( 3.9% ) and 7 species are in vulnerable condition ( VU ) ( 6.7% ) 43 species are almost threatened ( NT ) ( 41.5% ) and 25 species are common and abundant ( LC ) ( 24.0% ).
