Many people believe only animals are endangered. They think wild plants can just grow back
after damage. This is not true. Our plants are declining at an alarming rate. Among them are some of
the most beautiful and useful species on Earth. The importance of plants to life on Earth is
immeasurable. The landscape and wildlife we enjoy, the food we eat, even the air we breathe are
connected to plant life.
Plants support wildlife. The U.S. Forest Service has stated that for every plant species that goes
extinct, up to 30 other species of plants, insects and other animals may also decline. Plants provide
the food and habitat for wildlife.
Plants support a healthy environment. They provide clean air, help hold soil in place, clean
water, moderate wind and water impacts, and shade the earth.
Plants support people. Plants give many gifts to man. They provide food, fiber, and fuels. Many
plants are known to contain chemicals that can be used to treat human illnesses. Others have the
ability to fight agricultural pests and improve existing crops.
This is a real crisis. Habitat destruction, over collection and other environmental damage are
eroding our natural plant communities. Without intervention, they will be lost forever.
