Plants are part of nature, part of the ecological system of planet Earth. Each plant is a value that makes up the ecological chain of the globe. At least one of its links will disappear - the fragile natural balance in the balance system (food, raw materials, climate) of the universe will be violated. That is why it is necessary to protect and protect wild plants from complete or partial extinction.
Variety of wild plants
Wild plants are classified into:
More than 350 thousand diverse plants are known from the simplest unicellular to giant trees. They grow not only in forests and steppes, but inhabit the world's waters, live in inaccessible depths of oceans and seas, in sultry deserts and on rocky cliffs, even, it would seem, in unsuitable glaciers of Antarctica.
The value of the plant world of wildlife
From early childhood in kindergartens, further - in schools and universities, we are instilled with a love of nature and explain why it is necessary to protect and protect wild plants.
First of all, plants are staple foods for animals and humans. Amino acids, vitamins, proteins, that is, everything that is required for their life, contain green representatives of the flora.
Exterminating the flora, humanity stands in the way of self-destruction. Why? It is necessary to protect and protect wild plants because oxygen, vital for people and animals, is formed as a result of photosynthesis in plant cells. A particularly large amount of this air component is secreted by forests - the lungs of planet Earth.
Walking through the woods or hiking in the mountains is a wonderful form of relaxation. Green color has a calming effect on the human nervous system, and oxygen-enriched air is beneficial.
Natural fabrics are made from cotton and linen, wood is used for the manufacture of furniture, paper, for the construction of houses, etc.
Almost all representatives of the plant world - both edible and poisonous - can be used to prepare medicines that save the lives of many people.
The use of flora gifts in almost all spheres of human life clearly demonstrates why it is necessary to protect and protect wild plants.
Preserve the wealth of flora for future generations
Tourists, casual and regular visitors to the forest are tearing their roots, trampling, actually barbarously destroying rare and even endangered flowers - snowdrops, orchids, crocuses, edelweisses, lilies of the valley, adonises. Deforestation, uncontrolled collection of medicinal plants, plowing virgin lands under the fields - all this brings irreparable harm not only to the local ecosystem, but also to the plant world as a whole, since the large consists of small ones.
Why is it necessary to protect wild plants? In order for the future generation to admire the green-floral vastness of meadows, shaggy mast firs and cedars, the abundance of mushrooms in rainy autumn, so that the species composition of the animal world and the climatic component of even the smallest but most important place on our planet do not change. To do this, rare and endangered plants are protected at the national and international levels, listed in the Red Book, and artificially restored populations in the botanical gardens.
