10 ways animals help us.
10 ways animals help us.
1.Bees are powerful pollinators.
Did you know about one-third of the world’s food depends on pollination? Many of the earth’s plants—about 30% of the world’s crops
and 90% of our wild plants—depend on these little heroes. As they buzz from plant to plant, bees are powerful pollinators and play a
vital role in the ecosystem, so the
next time you find a wildflower, you can thank a busy bee.
2. Beavers combat climate change.
These woodland creatures have proved incredibly adept at naturally regulating ecosystems. Their gnawing and damming reduce
flooding and wildfire damage, preserve fish populations, and conserve freshwater reservoirs—key to combating the effects of climate
change. So when it comes to much needed river ecosystem regulation, leave it to the beavers.
3. Llama’s patrol farms.
pg. 2 Lesson plan V260423
, In addition to being a farm animal with a particularly low environmental impact and a sweet tooth for invasive weed species, llamas
have also been found to be incredibly effective guard animals. Yes, guard llamas. These sociable creatures’ bond with herd animals,
which makes them instinctively protective against predators and an invaluable asset to shepherds and ranchers.
4. Rats detect landmines.
Rats get a bad rap but with their keen sense of smell and trainability, they’ve been found to be exceptionally suited to work as
landmine detectors. More
efficient than metal detectors and cheaper than dogs, rats nicknamed (Hero Rats) are being trained to sniff out landmines, allowing
previously unusable land to once again be productive.
5. Squirrels help trees take root.
While you may know them as your neighbourhood park dwellers, squirrels’ natural habitat is the forest where they play a major role as
nature’s tree planters. These forgetful little creatures’ nut-gathering and storing have a big impact when their forgotten nut stashes
take root and grow into the trees and forests that sustain our ecosystem.
6. Narwhals assist scientists.
Otherwise known as the “unicorns of the sea,” these deep divers are instrumental to NASA scientists’ tracking of temperature changes
in Greenland’s arctic. Researchers have employed narwhals, fitted with radio transmitters, to collect data from the hard-to-reach
depths of the Arctic on water salinity, temperature, and impact of the increasingly warm ocean water on Greenland’s glaciers.
7. Elephants create a source of water for other species.
Not only are they major tourist attractions for many countries who depend on this economic boost, the elephant is also one of the most
intelligent animals on the planet and key to the biodiversity of its ecosystem. During dry seasons, elephants use their large tusks to dig
for water—providing some much-needed relief from the heat for other animals.
8. Birds balance nature.
The ecological handyman, birds really do it all: from reforestation and seed pollination to pest control and soil fertilization. Whether in
a forest, on a farm,
or simply in a garden, these feathered friends play a vital role in keeping nature balanced and indicating when it’s not.
9. Octopi are avid recyclers.
An unlikely ally, octopi are resourceful creatures with a talent for recycling. They put their tentacles to work reusing and reducing waste
through their creative use of glass containers, coconut shells, and other debris to create shelters. And while one man’s trash is an
octopus’ treasure, we can all learn a
