Pets can have both positive and negative impacts on the ecosystem. Here are some ways pets can affect the ecosystem:
-
Positive impact: Pets can contribute to biodiversity by interacting with and consuming certain species, which can help maintain a balanced ecosystem.
-
Negative impact: Pets can also pose a threat to native wildlife through predation, competition for resources, and spread of diseases.
It is essential for pet owners to be responsible and mindful of their pets' interactions with the environment to minimize any negative effects on the ecosystem.
