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.
