Lavoisiera canastrensis is a critically endangered plant species that was found in 2017. It is only known to live in Brazil 's Serra da Canastra National Park.[1] This area has been the only known mountaintop in Brazil as the location for the Lavoisiera species. Overall, about 66% are endangered because of limited distributions and small population sizes. To protect the endangered species of Lavoisiera species, a global conservation area, named campo rupestre, is a long-term conservation between governmental and non-governmental agencies to expand, monitor, and support the species.
