Wolves, dominant predators, reduce overgrazing by hunting herbivores, supporting flora and other species, and creating a 'trophic cascade', fostering stronger ecosystems and diversity.
Bees are crucial pollinators, assisting in the transfer of pollen, supporting agriculture and biodiversity. However, declining bee populations can lead to reduced plant reproduction and habitat deterioration.
Oysters, known as filter feeders, filter 50 gallons of water daily, improving water quality. Oyster reefs provide habitat for marine animals, promote biodiversity, and serve as environmental barriers.
Bats control insect populations, reduce chemical pesticide use, and contribute to biodiversity and plant reproduction by pollinating specific plants and fruits.
Elephants, known as ecosystem engineers, significantly impact the environment by causing tree collapse, clearing dense forests, allowing sunlight for plant growth, aiding in seed distribution, and promoting diverse plant populations.
Sharks, as apex predators, significantly contribute to ocean health by controlling fish and marine mammal’s populations, maintaining balance, and fostering ecosystem resilience.
Antelopes play a crucial role in grassland ecosystems by consuming diverse grass species, preventing overgrowth, promoting diversity, and dispersing seeds through fur or digestive systems.
