Nature’s superstars are animals like chimps or cheetahs. You think plants are just as amazing. Convince us.......
What can plants do that cheetahs can’t? They can regenerate when 90 percent of their bodies have been eaten away. They can have sex at long distances and communicate with approximately 20 more senses than an animal has. Those are very pragmatic arguments. But I think they’re valuable just because they’re there. We tend to judge plants not as autonomous organisms but in terms of what they can do for us. But they’re astonishing in their own right and deserve to be given the same ethical status as animals.

I agree plants are fantastic. But... I think it would be hard for people to give plans the same status as a creature they can see move and hear make sounds.
A bird chirping or a dog barking seems much more lively than a silent still plant.
And then their's the knowledge factor, not all people know the in's and out's of how plant life works and how amazing plants really are.

I agree but somehow I compare with introvert and extrovert humans. Some are loud and some are more quiet. Same with me the louder one, compared to my daughters more introvert personality. Both are unique and special.
It was really interesting to research this topic.

interesting.
