Plants improve the environment in many ways, like releasing oxygen into the atmosphere, absorbing carbon dioxide, providing nutrients to animals, and regulating the water cycle all things we need to sustain life on Earth. Plants keep the soil together preventing erosion. Plants provide oxygen for us and all the other animals. Through photosynthesis they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen which gives us the air that allows all animals on the planet to breathe. Plants are an essential part of the water cycle. Plants are essential to all life on Earth, including humanity. They provide the oxygen we breathe and over 80% of the food we eat. Protecting plant health can help feed a growing world population, protect the environment, and boost economic development. Conservation of plants and animals is important to protect the endangered plants and animals along with their habitat. A balanced ecosystem can be maintained by conserving living resources. Having conservation methods applied, we can feel glad about the multitudinous varieties of species present on the Earth. Trees contribute directly to the environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife. During the process of photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we breathe. In order to protect animals, many national parks, sanctuaries and biosphere reserves have been set up. The Government has also started projects like Project Tiger and Project Elephant to protect these animals. Deforestation to clear land for domestic cattle grazing leads to genetic erosion of wild flora and fauna.Important steps taken in this regard include: The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 provides for stringent punishment for violation of its provisions. The Act also provides for forfeiture of any equipment, vehicle or weapon that is used for committing wildlife offence(s). These protected areas include 551 wildlife sanctuaries, 104 national parks, 131 marine protected areas, 127 community reserves, 88 conservation reserves, and 18 biosphere reserves.
