2.6.The Importance of Flora and Fauna in the Planet’s Ecosystem
Flora and fauna keep the ecological balance on planet Earth and without them the human civilization would not have existed.
Flora is responsible for consuming carbon dioxide and generating oxygen, while fauna is consuming the oxygen and releases carbon dioxide that is used by flora in the photosynthesis process.
Humans consume the oxygen produced in the photosynthesis process and release carbon dioxide exactly like fauna does, but flora and fauna represent a natural resource of food and medicine for the human civilization here on planet Earth.
This is why is so important to keep flora and fauna in very good conditions because our life on the planet depends pretty much on them.
Flora and fauna have a functional role on the planet, but also an aesthetic role because with its natural beauty, the environment is helping us to get rid of stress and charge our bodies with healthy energy provided by the forest.
Flora and fauna also represent a great asset for the world tourism sector because many people on the entire planet are visiting distant places just to see and feel the natural beauties of those interesting places.

Flora and fauna are mostly affected by the reckless human activity on the planet that pollutes the air, the soil and water, by people leaving behind garbage in nature that could contaminate the soil and the water in the area and by people that are destroying habitats, plants and animals, even the endangered animal species.
Scientists say that on this planet there are tens of millions of species. Learn the names of even a hundredth part of them — a difficult task, but understanding the basic classification helps orient and get closer to nature. In this article you’ll learn about the main six groups of animals, as well as learn how to talk about it in English.

Conclusion

The relevance of the study is determined by the need for a comprehensive scientific study of the semantic field “Fauna”; the establishment in linguistics of new anthropocentric and synergetic approaches to the study of semantic fields of words, which requires the development of new methods and techniques for studying language material; the need for linguistic science in dictionaries of a new type. The purpose of our article is to describe the semantic field created by semantic groups of animalisms and zoosemisms (words with the peripheral seme “animal”) of the modern Russian language in the system-structural and cognitive aspects. The subject of study is the extralinguistic and linguistic factors of the formation of the “Fauna” field, the core and periphery of the field; core animal concepts; internal structure of the Fauna conceptosphere. The article discusses the differences of groups of units traditionally distinguished in linguistics that differ in the volume of the created field and the nature of the units that form it: thematic and lexical-semantic groups, semantic, conceptual and associative fields; presents a new look at the organization of the conceptual field-conceptosphere. The set of concepts in the conceptual sphere is distributed on the basis of basic frames: subject, actional, comparative, posessive and identification. Animalisms, representing the core of the semantic field “Fauna”, are considered in the systemic-structural aspect. For this, the extralinguistic and linguistic factors of the formation of the field of animalisms are analyzed. Based on the analysis of field-forming factors, which include the degree of occupation of the positions of the female, male, cub; the breadth of the word-building capabilities of animalisms; the presence of a microfield of the names of the same animal, the core and periphery of animalism field are determined. Zoosemic vocabulary – words that include the peripheral sema “animal” in their meaning –in our study serves as a source for studying relationships in the fauna conceptosphere. The frame composition of the non-core vocabulary of the animal conceptosphere is determined.
SUBJECT, ACTIONAL, COMPARATIVE, POSSESSIVE and IDENTIFICATION frames are analyzed for their volume, methods of linguistic expression, the composition of domains and subdomains in them, the presence of conceptual metaphors in themSo now you know how to call different animals that inhabit the Earth. The information in the article vocabulary, although it may seem too difficult to understand, would be very useful wishing to master communication of the animal world in the English language, namely the six animal groups that have formed to date as a result of evolution — invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles , mammals and birds. In the article, we remember that we were told to zoology, offering translation of the most basic concepts and terms in English.
