Abstract

The conservation status of an endemic perennial herb, Hanabusaya asiatica (Nakai) Nakai (Campanulaceae) was determined by applying the IUCN risk assessment criteria from our field study and available specimen data. Also, the GIS technology was used to develop a species distribution map to calculate the extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO) for the taxon. After two years of continuous field studies, 269 mature individuals were found in four localities in 2011, while 216 mature individuals were confirmed in three localities in 2012. Based on the following data, such as EOO (2,742 $km^2$), AOO (76 $km^2$) and estimated population size of mature individuals, the taxon, which is known as 20 localities in Korean peninsula, is evaluated as the category of Endangered (EN). A major difficulty in application of IUCN criteria to Korean rare plants were the lack of essential biological information and understanding the correct knowledge of the IUCN criteria in previous Korean studies. Sound conclusions regarding the conservation status of individual species require more intensive population studies, observations, and applying IUCN assessment procedures correctly.

특산식물 금강초롱꽃의 국제단위 IUCN 적색목록의 평가를 시도하기 위해, GIS를 이용하여 분포도를 작성하고 분포면적과 점유면적을 계산하였다. 2011년과 2012년, 2년간 현장조사를 한 결과 성숙개체는 4개 지역에서 269개체(2011년), 3개 지역에서 216개체(2012)를 확인하였는데, 기존 알려진 20여개의 서식지를 고려한다면 전체 성숙개체는 1,000개체 이상으로 추정된다. 분포면적은 12,742 $km^2$, 점유면적은 76 $km^2$이고 추정되는 성숙개체 수에 근거한 평가 결과, 금강초롱꽃은 위기종(EN)으로 판정되었다. 국내 희귀식물의 보전지위 평가에 있어 IUCN 국제평가기준을 적용시키기 어려웠던 이유는 국내의 생물학적 정보 확보 노력의 부족과, IUCN 범주 및 기준의 낮은 이해도 때문인 것으로 판단한다. 개별 종의 정확한 보전지위 평가를 위해서는 개체군 생태학적 정보를 축적해야 하며, IUCN 평가 절차를 준수해야 한다.
