Botanical Diversity
Botanical diversity refers to the variety of plant species found in a specific area or across the globe. This diversity includes different types of plants, such as trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses, each playing a unique role in their ecosystems. High botanical diversity is essential for maintaining ecological balance, supporting wildlife, and providing resources like food and medicine.
Conserving botanical diversity is crucial for environmental health and human well-being. Threats such as habitat destruction, climate change, and invasive species can lead to a decline in plant species. Efforts to protect areas like national parks and promote sustainable practices help preserve this vital diversity for future generations.
