been used as food by humans, 90 percent of the world’s food comes from only 20
plant species.
Industrial Products: Plants are also very important for
the industrial goods. Fibres from plants provide clothing. Some fuel products

Recreation: Plant communities from the basis

and natural observation.
Air Quality: The oxygen in the air we breathe
comes from the photosynthesis of plants. Plants can stop the movement of dust
and pollutants. Through the intake of carbon dioxide, plants can also lessen
the greenhouse effect caused by the burning of fossil fuels like coal.
Water Quality: Plants are extremely important to the
quality of the water we use. A diverse cover of plants aids in maintaining
healthy watersheds, streams and lakes by holding soil in place, controlling
stream flows, and filtering sediments from water.
Erosion Control: The delicate wildflowers that dot
the roadsides during the spring, summer and rainy seasons, protect the soil
from erosion caused by heavy rains. Without enough plant cover, wind or water
erodes the thin layer of soil
Climate: Regional climates are impacted by the amount
and type of plant cover. Natural disasters, such as drought, have been blamed
on the destruction of forests and other critically important plant communities.
Fish and Wildlife Habitat: Plants provide the
necessary habitat for wildlife and fish.
Ecosystem: The word ‘ecosystem’ means the way
in which human, plants and animals all live together supporting each other.
Every species serves an important role, or purpose in their community.
Ways in which one can help protect Plants
1. Support: We can protect the organisations that
protect the endangered plants or otherwise. We can become its member, an active
volunteer and make financial contribution to its work.
2. Follow Ethical Gardening
Practices: If you garden with native plants, don’t transplant
form the wild. Make sure that the plants you purchase have not been collected
from forests but grown.
