In the world there are around 94,000-144,000 endangered plants. Many endangered plants are being threatened by illegal poaching, habitat destruction and pollution.The reason this is important is because if plants died,eventually on the living beings on the planet will also die. Human beings and other animals need plants to live. When green plants make food, they give off oxygen. Without plants,animals and human would have no oxygen to breathe and would die.
