Abstract

The establishment of limits in península de Guanahacabibes, Western Cuba, allowed the compilation, revision and analysis of all the available information, either published or unpublished, about threatened wild plant species (12,6 % of the flora of Guanahacabibes). A total of 52 families, 93 genera and 100 taxa were found, 36 critically endangered (18 endemics), 37 endangered (24 endemics) and 27 vulnerable (17 endemics). Threatened endemics comprise 7,4 % of the local flora. The most vulnerable territory is the southern littoral zone from cabo San Antonio to cabo Corrientes. In addition, 45 combinations of anthropic and negative natural actions increase threats to the flora biodiversity and vulnerability of this territory.
