All of us benefit from Ecosystems. Every one, not a select few, not an elite people, everyone. Including animals. You see, ecosystems provide services for all of us. Services such as, purification of air, clean water, stable soils, and even set river paths. For the most part, the privilege of a balanced ecosystem is given, however. We as humans are not always a great factor. Many activities performed daily by humans are impairing and disrupting the natural order. Things such as urban sprawls, pesticides, domestic pet waste, invasive species introduction, and overfishing are causing damage to the surrounding ecosystem(s). Many people do not realize the harm they are causing, which can be even more dangerous. Sometimes being naive to your effects on the surrounding areas can be blinding.
