We live on a planet covered in life. We interact with this life. We depend on it, and it depends on us. The earth is made up of ecosystems. Everything on Earth is part of an ecosystem. However far removed from animals, humans may feel, we are essentialy another species among millions. Humans are part of the ecosystem.

However, our interactions with other ecosystems has frequently been damaging, and ultimately, detrimental to the entire planet. Each action and interaction has a ripple effect. If our initial action has a negative impact, this impact becomes logarithmic. These things have made us the most harmful species ever to walk the earth, leaving an indelible carbon footprint. Wolves, tigers, elephants, orangutans, and pandas are just a few of the species that are endangered as a result of human activity. As much as we may regret this, we are also faced with the inevitable truth that we are the only ones that can actively work to restore balance to our ecosystem.

Our planet Earth is home to a countless number of species. Though conservationists make estimations, the number of species that are endangered are also at numbers we can not truly know. The good news is it DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. Because one species is so interconnected with each other, helping to save one will have the same ripple effect in a positive manner that it has had in a negative one.
