Environments are everything around us. Ecosystems are unbroken chains that sustain life, balance. Sometimes we humans tend to break those chains, and so break the balance-To many of one creature and not enough creatures to hunt it.

We affect the ecosystem in many different ways. Here are a few examples and scenarios:

*We destroy about 150 acres of forest, every minute. You can only imagine how much damage this alone does to our planet.

*Because of our technology, we create a lot of waste. Some of it comes in the form of radioactive materials, some come in the form of other non-recyclable/slow-recyclable material like plastic and aluminum discarded into nature every second and another form is the many tons of hazardous materials we pump into the atmosphere every second.

*Because of our activities, about 16 species go extinct every day, never to be seen again.

*Because of all the fishing we do, a lot of aquatic lifeforms are being killed off, either because we catch and eat them, or because we catch and eat their natural food which is/will produce a reaction that will destroy all aquatic life since it's extremely delicate and a lot of the species depend on each other to survive.

***The case on Global Warming still needs to be researched more thoroughly. As of now, it is unclear if we are causing it or not, evidence is pointing towards us NOT being the cause of global warming. If we are indeed the cause (which is of course speculation at this point), then we are also responsible for transforming thousands, if not millions of acres of habitable land to desert every day and we would also be responsible for the melting the polar caps.

These were a few examples and they were extremely over-simplified since your question is extremely broad and would need an answer consisting of a few million words to fully address. I hope I have given you enough information.

Ecosystems in that area COULD die out. With that if they had a food source in that ecosystem they would loose it which means that they would have to import it.


Would you except to find greater biodiversity in natural ecosystem or human-made ecosystem such as farm or a garden explain your answer?

A natural ecosystem would have greater biodiversity than a human-made ecosystem. This is because in a human made ecosystem, everything is controlled and monitored, such as on a farm or in a garden. In a natural ecosystem, the plants, animals, and insects are allowed to flourish as they will, leaving greater room for naturally occurring diversity.
