native flora
Native flora refers to the plant species that naturally grow in a specific region without human introduction. These plants have adapted to the local climate, soil, and ecosystem, making them essential for maintaining biodiversity. They provide habitat and food for local wildlife, contributing to the overall health of the environment.
Preserving native flora is crucial for ecological balance. Invasive species, which are non-native plants that can disrupt local ecosystems, often threaten these native plants. Conservation efforts focus on protecting and restoring native flora to ensure the sustainability of habitats and the species that depend on them, including pollinators and wildlife.
