It’s a common misconception that only animals face extinction threats. Many assume that wild plants will recover after being damaged, but this is a fallacy. Plants are rapidly disappearing, including some of the most stunning and beneficial species. The role of plants in sustaining life on Earth is invaluable. Our landscapes, wildlife, food supply, and even the air we breathe are all dependent on plant life.
Plants play a crucial role in sustaining wildlife. According to the U.S. Forest Service, the extinction of a single plant species can lead to the decline of up to 30 other species, including plants, insects, and animals. Plants offer essential food and habitat for wildlife.
Plants contribute to a healthy environment by providing clean air, stabilizing soil, purifying water, moderating wind and water effects, and offering shade.
Plants benefit humans in many ways. They supply us with food, fibers, and fuels. Some plants have medicinal properties that can treat illnesses, while others help control agricultural pests and enhance crop yields.
We are facing a significant crisis. Destruction of habitats, excessive harvesting, and various forms of environmental damage are undermining our natural plant communities. Some species have dwindled to such low numbers that a single storm or collector could potentially eliminate them instantly. Without proactive measures, these species may become extinct permanently.
Câu 41: Plants_______________.
A. are unable to offer shade
B. help in preventing soil erosion
C. fail to create habitats for wildlife
