Nativa
This collection has been created to call attention to the environmental importance of preserving and growing native vegetation by photographically highlighting its beauty and scenic value. Particularly, these are pictures of plants that are present in the River Plate (Río de la Plata) region in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Some of them (like Dicliptera squarrosa or Bothriochloa laguroides) are usually regarded as unwanted plants or “weeds” in gardens and urban areas and are removed or replaced with “more showy” exotic species. However, native plants are of utmost importance for biodiversity and the environment in general. Through these pictures I invite you to feed your curiosity and find out more about the native plants of your region and what you can do to protect them.
