Ecosystems are systems, that if one part fails, it affects the entire ecosystem. The ecosystem in which we live are interdependent because all organisms in the ecosystem depend on each other to survive. We cannot stay apart with each other. This is what we learn from the forest which is the home of many animals. They helpneachnother to sustain. Forests provide a home for many different types of animals, including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and insects. Each forest type has its own unique set of organisms. to understand the dependency, we have a thoughtful verses available in Sanskrit :
निर्वनो बध्यते व्याघ्रो निर्व्याघ्रो छिद्यते वनं|
तस्माद्व्याघ्रो वनं रक्षेत् वनं व्याघ्रं न पालयेत्||
Nirbano badhyate vyaaghro nirvyaaghro chidyate vanam,
Tasmaadvyaaghro vanam rakshet vanam vyaaghram na paalayet.
Nirbano = having no forest.
Badhyate = get killed.
Vyaghro = a tiger.
Nirvyaaghro = without a tiger. Chidyate = be cut.
Vanam = a forest.
Tasmadvyaaghro = tasmat + vyaghro. Tasmat = therefore.
Rakshet = protects.
Na = not.
Paalayet = maintains, guards causes to preserve.
If there are no forests then tigers (and also other dangerous wild animals forced to wander into human habitations) get killed. At the same time if there are no tigers (and other dangerous wild animals) in a forest, then the forest is also in danger of being cut. Therefore, it is the tiger that protects the forest and not that the forest sustains the tiger.
The above verses underlines the interdependence of wild animals and forests in a forceful way and indirectly emphasises the role of wild animals in the preservation of forests. Animals help forests grow and regenerate. For example, a study found that animals are crucial to the speedy recovery of tropical forests.
