The Interconnectedness of Life

Everything is connected. There is a
symbiotic relationship between all
living things. One good example of this
relationship is ecosystems. These are
communities of living organisms that
share the benefits of their habitat. They
get air, water, and food. (A) …

Our planet is an ecosystem, made up
of many other small ecosystems. But
human actions have transformed the
Earth. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere
is changing the climate of the planet.
This change creates other conditions
that affect ecosystems.

(B) … We create pollution. We build roads, kill
animals, cut down trees, pollute the soil, air and
water, and consume resources without thinking
of the effects. Forests are necessary to purify the
air. Trees absorb CO2 and release oxygen. They
also maintain the water cycle by releasing water
vapour into the atmosphere. The forests are the
habitat of many organisms and animals. They
provide food and water. Clearly, deforestation is
our biggest problem. (C) …

A healthy ecosystem allows many different
species to live together. This is biodiversity, and
it is sustainable when it is capable of providing
the necessary conditons for all species to live and
reproduce.

something does not work in an ecosystem?
