between where i'm standing and wherever you're sitting there are millions of different types of plants and animals millions of different species all living together in an environment in something we call an ecosystem now in order for an ecosystem to be successful in order for it to be healthy it has to have different kinds of plants animals lots of different kinds of plants animals something we call biodiversity now biodiversity sounds kind of complicated， but if you listen it also sounds kind of nice this is the earth， our world all the living things that we know of live here and they live in ecosystems places like tundras， tigers， savannas， grasslands， prayers， desert steps， inter title zones， subtitle zones， cotton own shelves， deep ocean zones， estuaries， deciduous forests， tipper at rainforest， tropical rainforest， arctic ice packs， wetlands， marine mud flats and cities that's a lot of environments， but there are a lot of living things to fill them up the earth's environments are just crowded with life living things take hold everywhere they can here's an insect living right on top of blades of grass， it's a living thing that lives on other living things the environments always have living parts and non living parts some animals live on top of plants some animals live in the water， some plants grow on rocks it's all part of the ecosystem nearly three corners of the world surface is covered with water so most of the world's living things live here， it's just one ecosystem after another now near as we can tell all living things depend on other living things so the more different kinds of living things in an ecosystem the more successful it is we call this biodiversity different kinds of life we can think of an ecosystem as this wooden puzzle game see all the different species they all fit together and they depend on each other to live and you know once in a while a species will go extinct here from the ecosystem and you can see how you could lose a few of those without too much trouble， but you start to lose too many the whole thing becomes becomes a little rickety now where do people fit it well look they fit in just about everywhere look just about anywhere you can walk you'll find people living because people are living things and they're part of the ecosystem so when we go to manage an ecosystem we have to be careful about how things fit together or there won't be a place for us there's to be very careful， extremely careful 啊 now this hasn't happened yet， but it could ecosystems are a little bit like this game of sticks you can't take one stick out without disturbing most of the other ones the things that live in ecosystems depend on each other they're connected it's kind of cool。
