Introduction

The processes through which nature or environment creates natural resources that are mostly taken for granted by human beings for instance timber, clean water, pollination of agricultural and plants and habitats for fisheries, etc is called Ecosystem Services. Regardless of where the place is considered, in a rural area or city, the humans are dependent on the fruits of the ecosystem for the creation and delivery of their daily lives' services and goods.

Ecosystem

The natural ecosystem refers to a whole community of natural flora and fauna interacting with each other and the environment which they live in. Ecosystems are inclusive of chemical and physical proponents like nutrients, soil and water all of which are responsible for the supporting multitudes of the organisms that live in them. The said dependent organisms include anything from huge fauna and flora to microscopic unicellular organisms.

So if special care and consideration isn't given to these precious resources and the activities of humans are not planned, managed and limited in a proper fashion, inevitably it will lead to the complete annihilation of such natural warehouses.
