535 - What is the significance of keeping a balanced ecosystem?

Keeping a balanced ecosystem is important because it ensures that our planet stays healthy. Imagine an ecosystem as a big team:

• Plants clean the air we breathe,
• Animals help spread seeds for more plants to grow, and
• Rivers and lakes provide water for plants and animals.

If one team member goes missing, it can affect the entire team (ecosystem). A balanced ecosystem:

• Helps keep the air and water clean
• Gives homes to plants and animals
• Makes sure we have food to eat

So, keeping the ecosystem balanced is crucial for the well-being of our planet and everyone living on it.
