The scientists estimated that the extinction risk has become much higher than before which is to 39.4% from 21% in 2016.
Scientists are finding the solution using advanced technology such as Artificial Intelligence and seeking more funding for plants conservation.
The research found 723 plants used for medicine are at risk of extinction, and 1,942 plants and 1,886 fungi were named as new to science in 2019.
