The Secret of Mist Mountain 

Last month, I joined a team to study the plants on Mist Mountain. We carried cameras, notebooks, and tents. Every morning, we recorded the names of new plants. One day, we found a special flower that only opens at night. It smelled sweet but was very hard to find. 

During the trip, I learned that many plants are disappearing because of climate change. If we don’t protect them, future children may never see them. 

This journey changed me. I used to think nature was just a place to have fun. Now I understand it is something we must care for.

33. Why are many plants disappearing?
