| Why must we protect the earths plant and animal species and resources? |
|
Definition
| Because not all resources are renewable but all resources are needed by living organisms. Without resources like oil, coal life would be extremely different and if the plant species died out we woeuld lose crops that we need to eat because at the time we only use 20 of the 90% of plant species and we also use plants for medicine. If we don't proctect animals, they more will start to become extinct which will take away food for us and also mess up the food chain. |
