    What native species did you learn about in your area, and how do they contribute to your local ecosystem or community? How might your community change if these native species disappeared?

    I learnt about the flower Slovak Poniklec. This flower is protected by Slovak law and you can find it in the middle and east part of Slovakia. Mainly in the mountains. It is consider as a symbol of the spring. I did not know that it is dangerous and contains toxins, which can slown down the heart beat and decrease blood pressure. In folks medicine is used for tretment of eczema.
