25、 bus. D The state of the worlds plants is not strong. One in five plant species faces the risk of disappearance, according to a report. And such loss of plant variety could have destructive influences on our own plant uses. “Plants are extremely momentous to human beings,” said Kathy Willis, science
26、 director at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, who led the new report. “Plants provide us with everything- food, fuel, medicine, and they are unbelievably important for our climate controlling. Without plants we would not be here.” The good news is that deforestation rates around the world
27、 have decreased to a great extent since the 1950s. However, this first-ever report on the health of plant species around the world shows that there is much more to be done. The report, named the “State of the Worlds Plants”, estimates that there are now about 390,900 plant species known to science.
28、And some 21 percent of those plants are in danger of disappearance. “The positive side is that were still discovering lots of new plants, about 2,000 each year, new plants for food, for fuel and for drugs,” said Dr Willis. “The bad side is that weve seen a huge change in land cover, mainly driven by
