Survival by sheer weight of numbers

 Plants and animals have evolved and adapted over a long period of time to suit the particular environment they find themselves in. In recent times, plants have been taken out of their ‘comfort zones’ and thrown into harsher environments which are not suited at all to their conditioning and needs. Plants once blossomed only under the right climatic conditions but because of their worldwide ornamental appeal and valued food source they are now thriving in alien environments and gardens all around the world. Tropical plants now happily coexist alongside their temperate cousins. Plants are now far better placed to survive and propagate because of their dispersal to the four corners of the earth. The text on the sustainability of wildlife needs to take a leaf out of the book on botanics. Plants have ensured their future because of their adaptability in unsuitable environments, and wildlife needs to look to habitats further afield too despite conditions not being ideal. Dispersement, with our help, of all endangered species to far flung habitats around the globe will ensure that wildlife and plants alike survive by sheer weight of numbers.
