Plants and animals are an essential part of Earth's ecology. When we speak about a specific
habitat and time, we refer to them as flora and fauna. Flora refers to plants and fauna refers to
animals. They are fascinating to study due to their beauty and significance to human life. First,
the flora and fauna on Earth create an ecological balance, making life possible for humans.
Flora releases oxygen for humans. The carbon dioxide we breathe out is vital to plants.
Humans also rely on the plants and animals for food, medicine, and water.
Second, plants and animals combine to create a food chain. In the food chain, the animals play
an important part. They feed on plants and, in turn, are the prey of other animals. Their
droppings become fertilizers for plants.
Finally, plants and animals add a lot of beauty to our earth. People love and appreciate the
natural beauty, the relaxed feeling in green spaces and water areas.
However, plants and animals are facing habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. To protect
them, we should raise people's awareness of their significance, stop hunting, plant more trees,
and build nature reserves for our wildlife.
