Abstract
We gathered information from the IUCN Red List, databases, and literature to review the conservation status, nature of threats, and the challenges, gaps, and opportunities in conserving Zingiberaceae species in tropical Asia that are threatened with extinction. Only 45% of the 1449 species recorded have been assessed, of which 297 species (21% of all evaluated species) are threatened. Southeast Asia is a conservation hotspot in terms of species diversity and endemism, concentration of threatened species, and high deforestation rates. Most of the activities that directly threaten species cause deforestation and forest degradation, with most of the threatened species not being intentionally collected. About 75% of the species are conserved either through in situ or ex situ methods, or both. We identified information gaps, and recommended a pragmatic conservation approach that promotes and enhances the threatened ginger species’ use and values, which may improve their chances of surviving the Anthropocene extinction bottleneck.
