Role of Animals in Environmental Preservation
Animals play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystems by providing oxygen, food, clean water, and carbon sequestration for free. Various animal species contribute to replenishing nutrients, managing hydrology, soil building, water filtration, and fertilization of land and sea. The presence of animals is essential for ecosystem functionality, with herbivores aerating soil, predators regulating populations, and species like whales sequestering significant amounts of carbon dioxide, helping limit global warming.
