 WHAT IS FLORA?
FLORA IS THE NAME GIVEN TO
THE COLLECTIVE PLANT LIFE
THAT GROWS OR ONCE GREW
IN A CERTAIN AREA OR DURING
A GIVEN TIME PERIOD. IT
USUALLY REFERS TO THE
NATIVE PLANT LIFE PRESENT
BUT DOES INCLUDE NEW
SPECIES THAT HAVE BEEN
INTRODUCED AS WELL
IMPORTANCE OF FLORA AND FAUNA

1: MAINTAINS ECOLOGICAL BALANCE

WITHOUT FLORA AND FAUNA, HUMANS COULD

NOT EXIST. THE FLORA GENERATES AND
RELEASES OXYGEN, WHICH IS NEEDED BY THE
FAUNA FOR RESPIRATORY PURPOSES. IN
RETURN, THE FAUNA PRODUCES AND
RELEASES CARBON DIOXIDE, WHICH IS
NEEDED BY THE FLORA FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
IT’S A SYMBIOTIC KIND OF RELATIONSHIP.
2. AESTHETIC VALUE

IT’S A NO-BRAINER THAT HUMANS

LOVE AND APPRECIATE NATURE.
MANY LIKE TO SPEND TIME IN
OUTDOOR SETTINGS SUCH AS
FORESTS, NATURAL AREAS,
PARKS, AND OTHER GREEN
SPACES BECAUSE OF THEIR
AESTHETIC VALUE.
3. EXPANDS LOCAL
ECONOMIES

FLORA AND FAUNA CONTRIBUTE

MIGHTILY TO MOST WORLD ECONOMIES
REGARDING TOURISM. FOR EXAMPLE,
FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE AMAZON
ATTRACT NUMEROUS SCIENTISTS AND
EXPLORERS. IT’S ESTIMATED THAT THE
AMAZON RAINFOREST CONTRIBUTES
ABOUT $50 MILLION DOLLARS TO THE
BRAZILIAN ECONOMY.

WHY IS FLORA IMPORTANT FOR
FOOD PRODUCTION?

FLORA IS ESSENTIAL FOR FOOD

PRODUCTION, BECAUSE THANKS
TO AGRICULTURAL CROPS IT IS
POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES ESSENTIAL TO
OUR NUTRITION.
WHY IS FLORA IMPORTANT TO OBTAIN
RAW MATERIAL?

FLORA HELPS US TO OBTAIN

RAW MATERIAL SINCE FROM
CERTAIN PLANTS WE CAN
OBTAIN PAPER, WOOD,
COTTON, ETC. WITHOUT THESE
ESSENTIAL MATERIALS WE
COULD NOT HAVE CERTAIN
CONSTRUCTIONS.

FAUNA HELPS US AS A SOURCE

OF RAW MATERIAL SINCE

WHY IS FAUNA IMPORTANT TO OBTAIN
FOOD?

FAUNA HELPS US AS A SOURCE

OF FOOD SINCE THE MEAT OF
MOST ANIMALS IS THE HIGHEST
SOURCE OF PROTEIN WE CAN
GET IN ADDITION TO THE
VARIETY OF NUTRIENTS THEY
CAN PROVIDE.
