4/6
Plants and flowers are very important to human beings. Here are some of the important
things that plants provide:

Aesthetics: Plants have great “aesthetic” value which means they add to the beauty of the
place.

Medicine: History shows importance to medicine. Eighty percent drugs originate from wild
plants. Two percent of the world’s plants species have never been tested for their medicinal
potential. That means there are many important drugs yet to be discovered.

Food: Although some 3,000 species of plants have 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 are made from plants.

Recreation: Plant communities form the basis for many important recreational activities
including hiking, fishing, hunting 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 would erode 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.

Wildlife Habitat: Plants provide the necessary habitat for wildlife.

Ecosystem: The word ‘ecosystem’ means the way in which human, plants and animals all

5/6
live together supporting each other. Every species serves an important role or purpose to
the community.

Ways in which one can help protect Plants

1. Support: We can help the organizations that protect the endangered plants. We can
become their member, an active volunteer and make financial contribution to their work.

2. Follow Ethical Gardening Practices: If you garden the native plants, don’t transplant
from the wild. Make sure that the plants you purchased have not been collected from forests
but grown.
