I am searching to identify the top three factors affecting plant species loss in British Columbia? The information is needed to convince those who have the ability to affect policy decisions at a local governement level. Even informal information or redirects to web info would be helpful. The information I have found by rank points to: 1. Habitat Destruction and Fragmentation 2. Climate Change 3. Development Friendly Environmental Legislation Any discusion or help would be appreciated.
