Let’s face it, one way or another we all need plants. Over the years people have been realizing that plants are very important in every ecosystem. Whether wild or cultivated, plants are important particularly because they provide for us with food and medicine. It is therefore very important for everyone to come on board and ensure that conservation of plants is also one of their top priorities. This article provides with a better understanding about the benefits that plants provide for us and some of the methods that can be used to ensure that plant conservation has been achieved.
Over the years, it has been said that plants are responsible for the protection of our planet. Even though this is entirely true, most people fail to understand how this is achieved. According to science, plants supply us with the air that we breathe. They are also responsible for production of water that we use for drinking and cooking. It is therefore right to say that plants are life sustainers because without them it is possible that we must have depleted the air that we currently use for breathing. Therefore, we all need plants for us to survive.
Science also explains that different species of plants harvest sunlight and are actually the primary producers of energy. With this explanation, it is very right for us to say that plants are the structural basis that forms the ecosystem that we all live in. different plant species are responsible for maintenance of both the physical and chemical integrity of the world that we are currently living in. in most cases, plants, such as trees and other vegetation are responsible for the prevention of soil erosion. Without plants the whole world would turn into a desert.
For many years, plants have also been used to provide for us with different raw materials such as medicine, food and cloths. These are some of the keys that we require so that our lives can be sustained. Without clothes it is possible for many people to die from diseases caused by cold and sun burns. Also, the most deaths would be recorded due to lack of the right medicines that is required for the treatment of different conditions. Plants are therefore a very important of the ecosystem particularly because they sustain our lives. They also ensure that beauty has been added to our surroundings.
The above benefits explains why different initiatives and campaigns have been created for plant conservation. Some websites have been created to ensure that people have been provided with adequate information about the plants species that exist. They are also used to educate people on methods and initiatives that would be used to ensure that plants have been conserved. Various botanists have also come together to encourage people to donate any plant species to them so that they can be planted in places where plants do not exist. In conclusion, we should ensure that we have supported such websites and crusades as they are aimed at improving on our quality of life.
