Author(s) Gurjant Singh

Abstract Amritsar, Punjab’s vulnerable plant species are in serious decline as a result of unsustainable agricultural methods, habitat degradation, urbanisation, and climate change. This review looks at important species that were once overly prevalent in the area and have ecological, medicinal, and cultural significance, such as Dalbergia sissoo (State Tree of Punjab), Acacia nilotica, Ficus religiosa, Saraca asoca, and Azadirachta indica. We will examine their conservation status, the causes of their decline, and current preservation efforts through a thorough examination. In addition, the report emphasises the importance of government initiatives, community involvement, and creative conservation techniques including in-situ and ex-situ conservation in preventing the extinction of these species. The results highlight the need for coordinated action to manage biodiversity sustainably in Amritsar, a region already experiencing a decline in biodiversity.
