2015 Wildlife Action Plan Addendum Proposal Historically, this goal has applied only to animals. The time has come to include our native North Carolina plants in the list of species in greatest need of conservation in order to protect them before they become endangered, threatened, or of special concern. Helping conserve plants also helps us to conserve birds and other species. Native plants are a major component of the earth’s ecosystems, and they play a crucial role in sustaining the animals that are part of those ecosystems. It only makes sense to include in the plan the plants that wildlife depend on.
NC Needs to benefit from federal efforts to protect native plants.

Everything depends upon plants. They require support as much as anything else.

The addition of native plants is ultimately necessary to protect habitat and food sources for beneficial native insects and birds. Plants represent and support a large proportion of the state’s total biodiversity. Conserving plants conserves ecosystems and all the insects, birds and fauna that live there. The Wildlife Action Plan’s goal is to keep common species common. Historically, this goal has applied only to animals.

Please fully include native plants to the plan

The Wildlife Action Plan’s goal is to keep common species common. Historically, this goal has applied only to animals. The time has come to include our native North Carolina plants in the list of species in greatest need of conservation in order to protect them before they become endangered, threatened, or of special concern. Helping conserve plants also helps us to conserve birds and other species. I respectfully urge the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission to revise the 2015 Wildlife Action Plan to add plants to the list of North Carolina’s Species of Greatest Conservation. It is essential to the wellbeing of all of us that species biodiversity is maintained. Helping conserve native plants will allow all fauna, from insects to humans to thrive. Thank you.

My browser will not open the plan, but expansion of native plants, as opposed to non-native and invasive species, will sustain the health of our environment. Also, I hope Wildlife Mgnt will increase efforts to support native ecosystems to insure survival of insects and animals crucial to human survival.

Seems like a good idea.

Plants represent and support a large proportion of the state’s total biodiversity. Insects (which renowned biologist E. O. Wilson called “the little things that run the world”) sustain the earth’s ecosystems by sustaining the plants and animals that run those ecosystems. 90% of insects can complete their life cycle only on the native plants they evolved with. To continue to have a functioning ecosystem, it is imperative that the state include plants most in need of conservation in the plan. Conserving plants conserves ecosystems and all the insects, birds and fauna that live there. The Wildlife Action Plan’s goal is to keep common species common.
