Ecosystem Management To Maintain The Environment
By Genevieve Thomson
The earth’s life support system is supported by the
existence of an ecosystem. Good ecosystem management
will make or break the future of the environment.
The extinction of just one bacterium, insect, animal
or plant changes the whole system and puts the future
of the human race into question. Forest fires and the
destruction of forest products and plant life all contribute
to the ruination of the earth’s delicate ecosystem.
As humans, our survival is dependent on the survival
of all plant and animal life around us, which requires
ecosystem management. Insects and bacteria break down
organic materials and turn it into food and fertilizer
for plant life. Plants provide a number of benefits.
Vitally Important Not To Disturb An Ecosystem
Not only do they feed humans and animals, but they
produce oxygen, which is necessary for humans and animals
to live. Insects assist the plants in pollinating and
in their reproduction, by spreading their seeds. Animals
and humans return to the earth as organic material to
be broken down by insects and bacteria. It is vitally
important that this cycle of the ecosystem not be disturbed.
Humans are responsible for the destruction of millions
of acres of forest land each year. Humans also destroy
insects, animal habitats and plants with the use of
insecticides and pesticides. One of the most important
aspects of good ecosystem management is the medicinal
value it provides us.
Destroying Our Source Of Future Medicines
A very large percentage of all prescription medications
that are used in the United States have a natural base
of bacteria, plants or animals. The balance that maintains
the base currently in place on earth did not come about
overnight. It took millions and millions of years, but
it is taking far less time to destroy it.
Unfortunately, some of the great progress that we have
achieved, especially in the last 100 years, has played
a part in destroying those ecosystems. We have done
this with the building of recreational services and
activities, agricultural progress and the simple clearing
of lands, which we now know should be left alone.
Some forms of life have evolved, while others are still
in the state they were originally created in. Some life
forms have faced extinction and won, while others are
gone forever.
Extinction Is Occurring Every Day
Life on earth would not have survived the evolutionary
process without balance. However, extinction is still
occurring every day. One species depends on another
for survival. It doesn’t matter the size of the plant
or organism, they are all important and they play a
very important part in the survival of each other.
All species are dependent on another. In order for
the cycle of life to continue, we need to review our
activities and help maintain this balance. It is up
to us, as a world community, to practice ecosystem management
in order to maintain the balance and help the ecosystem
survive.

Little Known Ecosystem Facts.....
How are ecosystems protected under the law?
Without the ecosystems that surround
us on a daily basis, life as we know it would change
irreversibly forever. The change would not be a good
thing. Many of our daily necessities come from our surrounding
ecosystems. That is why many legal groups are taking
action to help protect ecosystems and give them a voice
in the law.
One town in Pennsylvania recently
passed legislation that would give any resident the
right to file a lawsuit on behalf of the ecosystem.
