Description
Book SynopsisProduced in partnership with the RHS, Plants Save the World shows how plants are going to help us to SAVE the world!
From tiny seeds and weeds to massive trees, plants come in all different shapes, sizes and colours. They can be found all over the world. In fact, they're so common, we hardly notice them at all. But plants are the foundation of all life on Earth - without them, we cannot survive! They provide food and medicine, clean the air we breathe, provide habitats for animals, protect against disasters, such as flooding, and are used to make products that we use every day. But plants are threatened by humans and so this book shows you how you can help to save them, too!
Supports the science curriculum in the study of plant life cycles, plant parts, food chains, ecosystems, deforestation and habitats.
In the accompanying book, Bugs Save the World, you can discover why bugs are so important to the survival of our planet, too.
