Humans are fully depended on the natural resources but it is possible to use all these resource without harming the nature, without disrupting the biodiversity, without harming the habitat and the most important thing is not to waste natural resources. We should consume the resources till a limited amount and conserve the resources for our future generation and for other species too; by doing this it is possible that we can keep our climate safe, we can prevent our biodiversity by being threat.

Producers : Plants, algae, and some types of bacteria that produce their own food through photosynthesis. 2. Primary Consumers: Herbivores that eat producers, such as insects, rabbits, and deer. 3. Secondary Consumers: Carnivores that eat primary consumers, such as mice, birds, and small mammals. 4. Tertiary Consumers: Apex predators that eat secondary consumers, such as lions, tigers, and bears. 5. Decomposers: Organisms that break down dead organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and detritivores. Types of Food Chains 1. Grassland Food Chain: Starts with grasses and ends with apex predators like lions. 2. Ocean Food Chain: Starts with phytoplankton and ends with apex predators like sharks. 3...
