Answer:
Nature is a system in balance that relies upon interdependence between species. “Species depend upon each other," the U.S. Forest Service says, "like parts of the human body, to make a functioning whole.” So removing a single species can affect many others and, in the long term, have a negative impact on human beings. If osprey, for example, were to become endangered, population numbers of the fish they eat -- pike -- would increase. That would endanger perch, which are eaten by pike. This chain reaction would continue down the food chain, likely resulting in unanticipated consequences for other species along the way.
