flora and fauna

Flora refers to the plant life in a particular region, ecosystem, or period, including trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses. It encompasses all types of plants, from microscopic algae to towering forests. Fauna, on the other hand, refers to the animal life of a specific area, including everything from insects and birds to mammals and reptiles. Together, flora and fauna represent the biodiversity of an environment, highlighting the complex relationships between plants and animals that sustain ecosystems. Understanding both is essential for conservation and appreciating the natural world.
