Population:

Population

The number of mature individuals has been reported to be less than 50 by Fernandes et al. (in: Martn et al. 2008) and specified as only six individuals by the Commission of the European Communities (2009). The populations are stable.

Threats:

Major Threats

Habitat degradation due to invasive species which cause competition for Jasminum azoricum is one of the major threats. Agricultural, urban and infrastructure development are leading to further habitat loss and degradation. Fires, droughts and landslides can furthermore affect this plant (Fernandes et al. in: Martn et al. 2008).

Conservation Actions:

Conservation Actions

Jasminum azoricum is listed on Annex II of the Habitats Directive and under Appendix I of the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention).
The following conservation measures are recommended for this rare species (Fernandes et al. in: Martn et al. 2008):
  • Raising public awareness
  • Management and restoration of its habitat
  • Establishment of protected areas
  • Reinforcement of the subpopulations and reintroductions
  • Control of invasive species and other threats

Furthermore, research on the ecology and biology of the species, population dynamics, habitat trends, and appropriate conservation measures are needed.
