Abstract
Animals play crucial roles in maintaining the balance and functionality of ecosystems. This paper examines the significant ecological contributions of animals, including pollution control, seed dispersal, nutrient cycling, and their role as decomposers. It also highlights the adverse effects of human activities, such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change, on animal populations and the overall health of ecosystems. Furthermore, the paper explores various conservation strategies, protected areas, and breeding programs aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of human-induced environmental changes. The findings underscore the importance of preserving biodiversity and the vital role animals play in sustaining ecological integrity. Conservation efforts are essential to safeguard species and ensure the stability of ecosystems for future generations.
