Why native plants?

According to the The National Audubon Society:

Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

Refers to the leaves wrapping around the stems some. That's my understanding.

Pretty sure it's this but I'm doing a very large yard rewilding project right now and I can't remember specifically what was in all of my seed mixes.
