The rafflesia, known for its large and distinctive flowers, became endangered primarily due to habitat loss resulting from deforestation, agricultural expansion, and human encroachment. While specific conservation statuses can vary by species, many rafflesia species were identified as endangered in the late 20th century as awareness of their ecological importance grew. Conservation efforts have been initiated since the 1990s to protect their habitats and raise awareness about their fragility.
