Animal Research Project
Every little animal within the ecosystem has a vital role in the well-being of the planet. If one species is becomes extinct due to some imbalance, it can have an effect throughout the rest of the chain. For example even a small bee is in fact a crucial worker in the factory of nature. Plants, flowers and grasses do not bloom without their pollen carrying role. Even man’s ability to grow certain crops is affected by the presence or absence of bees in certain cases. When the numbers of bees become low, people rent out hives and install them on sites to aid
in pollination.
Animals are very important in our ecosystem. We are also animals and we and the other species engage in what is called a food web. They are all interdependent on each other for survival. Think about the circulation of money in an economy. If one link is broken the whole economy can crash. The same can be said for animals in an ecosystem. They are all important to ensure ecological balance.
Below is a short video that will help you understand how important animals are to maintain a healthy environment for the future of our earth.
