Natural vegetation is crucial to humans as it provides oxygen, filters air pollutants, supports biodiversity, regulates climate, and offers resources like food, medicine, and materials for shelter and clothing. It also plays a key role in preventing soil erosion, maintaining water quality, and supporting ecosystems that sustain our overall well-being. Preserving natural vegetation is vital for a sustainable and healthy coexistence with our environment.
The uses of natural vegetation are :
Hardwoods:

fish , reptiles , mammals and insects.
Humans have modified natural vegetation through activities such as deforestation for agriculture, urbanization, and infrastructure development. This has led to habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, and climate change impacts. Additionally, introduction of invasive species and overexploitation of resources have further altered natural vegetation.
plant life
Natural characteristics are features of the environment that are not created by humans, such as climate, landforms, and vegetation. Human characteristics are traits or attributes specific to humans, such as culture, language, and technology. Both natural and human characteristics contribute to the overall makeup of a place or region.
Natural vegetation provides important habitat for wildlife and helps to maintain biodiversity in the ecosystem.
