Plants are important to the world economy, particularly, in the use of fossil fuels as an energy source.
Wildlife :-
Wildlife includes animals, birds, insects and aquatic life forms. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems such as deserts, rain forests, plains, mountains, oceans etc. The importance of wildlife to a continued human existence has never been more obvious than it is today. The wild animals are equally, if not more important than domesticated animals. Wildlife has a wide range of ecological, economic and cultural importance in relation to human existence. Wild animal migration, distribution and behavioural patterns can be a vital indicator into the health of an ecosystem and the deeper impacts of climate change. Scientists can use models of animal distribution to define the best methods for the preservation of the natural environment. So, wildlife is an integral part of any ecosystem.
