The Earth's organisms interact with their environment in a delicately balanced cycle. Plants use energy from the sun, and they become food for other creatures. The cycle continues as plant and animal life forms die and get consumed by microorganisms. Bu this cycle of life is in jeopardy from humanity's overuse of natural resources and damage to the ecosystem from pollution. Read on to learn more about maintaining balanced ecosystems
The expansion of civilization inflicts a growing burden on the ecosystem. Minerals, fossil fuels and other natural resources disappear at an alarming rate. Overfishing and habitat destruction create a loss of biodiversity that will have long-term negative consequences on the ecosystem. The overuse or destruction of their habitats threatens species with extinction. You can see this in marine ecosystems where the loss of just a few species can threaten an entire ecosystem. A concerted effort to use natural resources in a sustainable manner will help to protect and maintain ecological balance.
