Now wild plant resources are getting less and less, because with the development of people's scientific and technological life, there are more and more enclosures for the natural environment, and in some native landforms, human footprints will become more and more deep, so the growth space for wild animals and plants will slowly decrease year by year. However, everything is relative, and people will also know how to give back to the quality of nature when they ask for it, so in recent years, people's awareness of the protection of the natural environment has become stronger and stronger, so some wild resources have slowly increased compared with previous years.
There was an uncle in the village before, he found a boxwood forest in the high mountains, this uncle went to 30 boxwood "root lumps" in one breath to take home and put them away, but because of this alpine boxwood, its value did not meet the requirements of protecting plants, so even if the uncle gathered a few "root lumps", he would not be blamed by people. After all, when the uncle sawed the boxwood "root lump", he did not dig out a whole boxwood tree, but only some of the roots that were relatively old and showed the state of half a wood, just brought home to do some crafts, after all, they could not be fed. Only when you encounter a boxwood tree that looks at the right eye, you will take it home to make a bonsai.
Moreover, because the economic conditions in the mountains can not catch up with the city, so the uncle will do some bonsai to sell in the city when he is idle, especially these boxwood bonsai, has always been favored by the establishment of bonsai enthusiasts, so the uncle is also in the mountain at home, specially raised a boxwood grove, to use as a backup material for bonsai, and will not blindly destroy forest resources.
