Animal impact

Animal impact refers to the significant effects animals have on their environments and ecosystems. This includes how they influence plant growth, soil health, and other species through activities like grazing, burrowing, or seed dispersal. Animals can help maintain ecological balance, promote biodiversity, and shape habitat structures. Conversely, changes in animal populations—due to human activity or environmental shifts—can disrupt these natural processes, leading to consequences like habitat degradation or loss of biodiversity. Understanding animal impact helps us appreciate their role in sustaining healthy ecosystems and informs conservation efforts.
