Plants Many people in the world don’t think of plants as being endangered, but they are. Because of this, I made my part of the mission on plants. Plants are endangered for three main reasons. The first of these is that man is cutting down and destroying rain forests and other habitats. Another is that human activities like mining, road construction, off road traffic and pesticide use reduce habitat. The last reason is because of human beings need for medicines. Most medicines come from plants.Gathering plants for medicine reduces their numbers. In my section of the web site I researched three plants: the Venus Fly Trap, Arizona Cliffrose and the Pitcher Plant. Two of these plants are carnivorous plants.
