native vegetation
Native vegetation refers to plants and trees that naturally grow in a specific region without human intervention. These plants are adapted to the local climate, soil, and wildlife, forming the natural ecosystem. They provide shelter, food, and habitat for native animals and insects, helping maintain ecological balance. Because they are adapted to the environment, native plants typically require less water and maintenance compared to non-native species. Protecting native vegetation supports biodiversity, conserves natural resources, and preserves the character of the local landscape.
