Abstract

Yongcui Wang*

Biodiversity, the incredible variety of life on Earth, is sustained by the complex interplay of plants, animals and microorganisms. Within this delicate ecosystem, plants play a crucial role as the primary producers and guardians of biodiversity. They provide food, shelter and habitat for countless animal species and their intricate relationships contribute to the overall stability of ecosystems. However, many plant species are now teetering on the edge of extinction due to human-induced factors, posing a grave threat to the intricate web of life they support. This article delves into the vital role of endangered plants as guardians of biodiversity and the myriad challenges they face, as well as the urgent need for their preservation.
