Aira Insularis

Island air grass, scientifically known as Aira insularis, is a rare and unique plant species found exclusively on certain remote islands. This delicate grass is adapted to thrive in nutrient-poor, coastal environments where few other plants can survive. Its slender blades and light green coloration make it a striking yet subtle presence in its natural habitat. Due to its limited distribution and fragile ecosystem, it is considered a vulnerable species facing threats from habitat loss and climate change. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this rare plant and preserve its ecological role.
