The survival of calendula The dual challenges of environment and utilization?
Calendula is widely loved by people for its bright flower color and unique fragrance. However, this beautiful plant faces a double dilemma: on the one hand, its habitat is increasingly threatened;On the other hand, the overuse of calendula by humans also puts pressure on its survival.
1. The ecological environment of calendula.
Calendula is native to the coastal region of the Mediterranean Sea and prefers to grow in sunny, well-drained, and drier environments. However, with the global climate change and the acceleration of urbanization, the suitable environment for calendula growth is gradually decreasing. In many places, the destruction of calendula's habitat or the deterioration of the growing environment due to climate change directly threatens the survival of calendula.
Second, the pressure of calendula utilization.
Calendula is not only ornamental, but it is also widely used in herbal medicine. Its flowers are rich in nutrients, such as vitamin C, folic acid, etc., and have certain medicinal value. However, due to over-picking and use, the number of calendula is decreasing dramatically. At the same time, in order to meet market demand, artificially grown calendula often lacks the ability to adapt to environmental changes, which also poses a threat to the survival of calendula.
3. Calendula in a double dilemma.
Faced with the dual pressure of ecological environment deterioration and overutilization, the survival situation of calendula is not optimistic. However, calendula is not without hope. For the deterioration of the ecological environment, we can alleviate the pressure by protecting and restoring the original environment of calendula. At the same time, we can reduce the pressure on over-utilization by regulating the picking and use of calendula and promoting sustainable planting practices.
Sustainable use and development.
In order to protect calendula and achieve its sustainable use, we need to take a number of measures. First of all, we need to protect the native environment of calendula and prevent human activities from damaging it. Secondly, we need to understand the growth Xi and adaptability of calendula through scientific research to find a more suitable planting method for its growth. In addition, we need to raise public awareness of calendula conservation through education and guide people to use calendula wisely.
5. Balance between protection and utilization.
Protecting calendula doesn't mean we have to give up using it. In fact, through rational use, we can achieve the goal of equal emphasis on conservation and development. For example, we can plant calendula in urban parks or public spaces, which not only satisfies people's pursuit of beauty, but also protects the environment in which calendula grows. In addition, we can also explore more uses of calendula through scientific research to maximize its value.
VI. Conclusion. Faced with the double dilemma of ecological deterioration and overutilization, the survival situation of calendula is indeed worrying. However, as long as we take proactive steps to protect and regulate the use of calendula, we have the potential to help calendula weather the storm. In this process, we need the joint efforts of the whole society, including academia, business and the public. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of attaching equal importance to protection and development, so that calendula can continue to bloom beautifully under the care of human beings.
