Chapter 57, Problem 9TYU

Summary Introduction

To review:

Whether the better approach is preserving the ecosystem or preserving the endangered species living in that environment.

Introduction:

An ecosystem is a part of the environment that comprises biotic as well as the abiotic components. These two components are in constant interaction with each other. Thus, they affect each other and in turn, gets affected as well. The status of all the species in a particular ecosystem is never the same. Some might be flourishing quite well, while others, may become endangered. Thus, the former ones do not require any attention from the conservationists, while the latter ones require special conservation strategies.
