Endemism

Endemism means that something is unique to a geographical area. An endemic species of Ibiza (or of the Balearic Islands) is one that lives nowhere else on Earth. For example the Balearic Saint John's-wort (Hypericum balearicum) only lives in the Balearics.

Endemics are particularly vulnerable to changes in their environment.
