| Each life form must routinely
carry out its daily chores to support itself. It must
interact with and depend on others for food, space, and other
living commodities to survive and flourish. All life forms
inhabiting a particular ecosystem together form a living web in
which the work of one contributes to the welfare of itself and of
others. In fact, the inter-relationship, interdependence and other
activities among life forms in an ecosystem contribute to the
well-being and integrity of all life forms and the heathy state of
the environment where they live. These intricate activities of all
life forms have sustained life on earth throughout the course of
its evolution allowing it to evolve, diversify, and flourish.
This section of the gallery

the world, including forest, savana, wetland, aridland, and marine
ecosystems. |
