We should protect ecosystems because they are key to the health of our planet and our future. Ecosystems, like forests, oceans, and wetlands, give us clean air, clean water, and food. They also help keep many different plants and animals alive. If ecosystems are damaged, we risk losing this variety of life, which can throw the environment off balance.

Ecosystems also help fight climate change. Forests, for example, take in carbon dioxide, a gas that makes the planet warmer. Cutting down forests means more carbon dioxide in the air, which leads to global warming.

If we don't protect ecosystems, we could see more pollution, the loss of natural places, and more natural disasters like floods and wildfires. To keep ecosystems safe, we should reduce deforestation, cut down on pollution, and support efforts to conserve nature. This is good for both the environment and for us. Protecting ecosystems is essential for a better future.
