Research shows that currently, we are using 25% of the natural resources which will affect the life of species e.g. plants and animals. This will in turn affect the ecosystem of our world and hamper agriculture and no fresh water etc. According to IUCN the monetary value of goods and services provided by ecosystem is estimated to amount $33 trillion per year.

The world therefore, also needs to work a lot for their welfare, and of every species present so we can make this world a healthy, safe place to live
