Your question has a number of implications: What is the importance of wildlife to us? What is the importance of wildlife to the planet? What is the importance of wildlife to God?


Bacteria and bugs and other animals dispose of carcasses when other beings, including us, die. Flying insects pollenate flowers and fruit bearing trees providing this world with food and beauty. Birds drop seeds in their dropping that spread plantlife around and help to keep mosquito populations down. Ants areate soil. Worms produce rich loam that helps to sustain crop growth. Foxes, wolves, lions, tigers, and otehr carnivores help to keep less predatory species in ecological balance. Obviously I would go on and on here.

There is a tendency, however, when asking such questions, for we humans to place ourselves at the center of the universe, as we seem to be an arrogant lot in that regard. As I have gotten older I have come to the conclusion that this planet, this universe, and all that are in it work amazingly well. We are just the right distance from the sun so as not to cook, nor freeze. The moon is just the right size to churn the oceans and atmosphere as it passes around us without causing tidal waves or devastating winds. The red blood cells in your body are precisely the optimum shape to maximize interchange of oxygen.

Now these all could be extraordinary coincidences that things great and samll in this universse work so well, and so well together but such a large number of coincidences seems so unlikely to me as to require too much faith to believe it possible.

Accordingly, I choose to believe that rather than by accident, this all was the creation of a master planner--a God if you will. While I cannot pretend to understand what God's plan is, nor the importance he may attach to others of his creations, it seems to me the the prudent man would show some deference and respect for those things that one so powerful as God has created.

The Earth's biodiversity helps human existence and society. we matter on different organisms, a minimum of to 3 degree, for extremely almost each and every ingredient of our lives. Our nutrition, our drugs, chemical aspects, a sort of establishing aspects, and many our clothing derive from dwelling issues. Even fossil fuels inclusive of coal and oil, which offer lots of the international's potential, are formed from organisms that lived hundreds of thousands of years in the past. approximately ninety p.c. of all the energy that folk consume are offered by purely approximately a hundred kinds of vegetation, however there are tens of thousands of kinds of vegetation we ought to apply as nutrition. because of the fact the human inhabitants keeps to strengthen, and as agricultural land turns into progressively greater constrained, the few species of vegetation that provide our nutrition could now no longer be adequate. quickly human beings could could desire to look to different species to come across nutrition vegetation for the destiny. yet by then, biodiversity could have dwindled previous desire.

Ultimately because the animals we like to eat are a part of an eco system that requires wildlife to survive.
