Researchers issue urgent call to save the world's largest flower, Rafflesia , from extinction.
Most of the 42 species are severely threatened, yet just one of these is listed in the IUCN 's Red List of Threatened Species .
Over two-thirds ( 67% ) of the plants' habitats are unprotected and at risk of destruction.
We urgently need a joined-up, cross-regional approach to save some of the world's most remarkable flowers, most of which are now on the brink of being lost.
Rafflesia has the potential to be a new icon for conservation in the Asian tropics.
