native flora and fauna

Native flora and fauna refer to the plants and animals that naturally live and have evolved in a specific geographic area over very long periods. These species are well-adapted to the local climate, soil, and ecosystems. Because they are indigenous, they play a vital role in maintaining the health of their environment, supporting other wildlife, and sustaining local ecological balance. Introducing non-native species can sometimes disrupt these natural relationships, which is why protecting native flora and fauna is important for ecological stability and biodiversity.
