THE biodiversity of planet Earth is very large and it refers not only to animals, but also to plants and other organisms.
the diversity of plants is called flora, and the flora of a particular region is called local flora. As Brazil is a country with a vast territory, the biodiversity that exists here is enormous and we often do not even know the flora of the region where we live.
Factors such as temperature, amount of sunlight, amount of rain and type of soil influence the type of plant that lives in that environment. Therefore, the same plant is not always found in different environments.
This class was designed so that students get to know the environment where they live and have an idea of the diversity of species that plants have.
Furthermore, it is a good time to emphasize that plants are living beings that deserve respect and should not be hurt, broken and cut unnecessarily.
