Fragile ecosystems

Fragile ecosystems are delicate communities of plants, animals, and their environment that can be easily disturbed or damaged by human activity or natural events. They often have specialized species and limited capacity to recover from changes, making them vulnerable. Examples include coral reefs, rainforests, and wetlands. Protecting these ecosystems is essential because their disruption can lead to extinction of species, loss of biodiversity, and negative impacts on the environment and human survival. Maintaining fragile ecosystems involves careful management and conservation to preserve their complex balance and ensure their resilience for future generations.
