Flora

The word “flora” is used to designate plant life. The word “flora” is derived from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers. In Roman mythology, Flora epitomised the goddess of flowers and of the season of spring. Flora was a symbol of nature and flowers and fertility in Roman mythology.

Fauna

Fauna is all of the animal life. Fauna’s name derived from “to favour, nurture,” because it was believed by the ancient Roman religion that Fauna is the goddess who nurtures all that is useful to living creatures.

Flora and fauna mean plants and animals. These two forms of life along with other life forms constitute a biota.

The importance of flora or plants on the land or in the oceans makes our life possible. Plants are the oxygen producing and carbon dioxide absorbing natural apparatus without which life would not be possible. Besides the plants are essential resource for human well-being. The Amazon rainforests not only supply oxygen but are the source of sustenance for the region.

Each plant and animal in the world brings something to the environment that another plant or animal including man, will rely on. This creates a balance of life that enables the life cycle to survive.

The flora and fauna are imperative because they form the fine net of life, where each life has something to contribute even if in a very small way.

The plants of the earth produce the oxygen that is breathed by the fauna and in turn, the fauna exhales the carbon dioxide that the flora need to live one cannot live out the others, and the humans cannot live without either. The existence of one species depend upon the existence of the other like the relationship of the pandas and the bamboo plant. The food of the Panda is only bamboo shoots. The destruction of the bamboo forests in China has endangered the panda almost to extinction, due to starvation and habitat loss.

The importance of flora and fauna is linked with the very air we breathe and the food we eat. The flora produces important the medicines, and the water absolutely necessary for life to exist, would not be if flora and fauna all things in an ecosystem are interdependent.

We are all connected through a food chain of which the fauna occupies a significant part.  Our ecosystem, the flora and fauna are all interdependent through food chains. It starts from the primary producers the plants and ends with the highest consumer – man. Consider the small insects living near the banks of ponds or the moss and algae. The small fish feed on these insects, which are food for large fish. Birds like heron, sea gull and kingfisher, frogs and man eat the big fish thus creating an interdependent ecosystem
