Plants are part of nature, part of the ecologicalsystem of the planet Earth. Each plant is a value that makes up the eco-chain of the globe. Disappear at least one of its links - the fragile natural balance in the balance system (food, raw materials, climate) of the universe will be broken. That is why it is necessary to guard and protect wild plants from total or partial extinction.
Wild plants are classified into:
There are more than 350 thousand different plantsfrom the simplest unicellular to giant trees. They grow not only in forests and steppes, but inhabit world waters, live in inaccessible depths of oceans and seas, in hot deserts and rocky rocks, even, it would seem, in unfit for life glaciers of Antarctica.
From early childhood in kindergartens, further - in schools and universities we are taught a love of nature and explain why it is necessary to protect and protect wild plants.
First of all, plants are the main food for animals and humans. Amino acids, vitamins, proteins, that is all that is required for their life, contain green representatives of the flora.
Destroying the flora, humanity stands in the wayself-destruction. Why? It is necessary to protect and protect wild plants because oxygen, vital for humans and animals, is formed as a result of photosynthesis in plant cells. A particularly large amount of this component of air is allocated by forests - the lungs of the planet Earth.
Walking through the forest or hiking in the mountains is a wonderful kind of recreation. Green color has a pacifying effect on the human nervous system, and oxygen-enriched air is beneficial.
Cotton and linen produce natural fabrics, wood is used for making furniture, paper, for building houses, etc.
Virtually 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 the gifts of flora practically in all spheres of human life clearly demonstrates why it is necessary to protect and protect wild plants.
Tourists, casual and regular visitors of the foresttearing with roots, trampling down, virtually barbarously destroying rare and even disappearing flowers - snowdrops, orchids, crocuses, edelweiss, lilies of the valley, adonis. Deforestation, uncontrolled collection of medicinal plants, plowing of virgin land under fields - all this brings irreparable damage not only to the local ecosystem, but to the plant world in general, since the large consists of small.
Why should you protect wild plants?In order for the coming generation to admire the green and floral meadows of the meadows, shaggy mastheads and cedars, the abundance of mushrooms in rainy autumn so that the species composition of the animal world and the climate 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 level, entered in the Red Book, artificially restore populations in botanical gardens.
