5 Animals Humans Need For Survival

[hope]

Every life is worth protecting, but there are a few that need some extra attention -- we may
not be able to live without them!

HONEYBEES
Bees provide the world with something far more important than delicious honey, they provide
Pollination-which is what makes most of the plant life on Earth grow, It allows plants, flowers,
trees and fruits to exist, In turn, feeds both others animals and humans.
Unfortunately, human interaction with nature has caused the Bee population across the world
to decrease by an estimated 250 billion bees.
BATS
When people think of bats they immediately equate them with vampires, but only one species
of bat actually drinks blood, so there is really no need to fear them.
In fact, bats have a positive influence on life on the planet, bats comprise one in every five
mammels in the wild, and are one of the largest consumers of insects on Earth.
That basically means that they keep the creepy crawlers from taking over, you can thank them
for keeping the population of spiders lower.
PLANKTON
It's a common misconception that plankton are only plants, but the term refers to anything to
any tiny living organism underneath the water that is virtually incapable of moving on it's own.
Why are planktons so important? It's because they're the reason we can all breathe.
Through photosynthesis and some healthy appetites, both phytoplankton and zooplankton
play an important role in converting energy into oxygen and distributing it around the world.
Plankton is responsible for 'half' of the Earths oxygen...
PRIMATES
Our closest cousins in the animal kingdom are also the most vital animals on the planet, they
may be our closest link when it comes to understanding Human history, but their true worth lies
In the ecological role they play in the world. In tropical and sub-tropical climates, primates are
what is known as a 'keystone' species ,, they essentially act as the forests gardeners by
dispersing seeds and pollen through their daily habits such as eating and defecating.
Why is this important ? because tropical rainforests actually influence global rainfall patterns,
so the trees that the primates help grow work to sustain life on Earth.
BUTTERFLIES
Aside from being beautiful and helping the spread of pollen, through their wings, butterflies help
to predict climate change.
Studies have indicated that European butterflies have steadily been moving north, and a larger
part of this is due to a change in temperature. Butterflies prefer milder climates and studies
have shown that they are emerging earlier and navigating north sooner than normal.
They provide a way for scientists to study the effects of climate change and provide great
insights on how to prevent it.
