Ecosystem balance refers to the stability and health of an ecosystem, where various organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, interact with each other and their environment. This balance ensures that resources like food, water, and shelter are available for all species, allowing them to thrive. When one species becomes too dominant or declines significantly, it can disrupt this balance, leading to consequences for the entire ecosystem. Maintaining ecosystem balance is crucial for biodiversity, which is the variety of life in a particular habitat. Healthy ecosystems, such as forests, wetlands, and coral reefs, support numerous species and provide essential services like clean air, water filtration, and climate regulation. Protecting these ecosystems helps sustain their balance and the benefits they offer to both nature and humans.
