What is species depletion?
All life on Earth is grouped into life forms of a similar type. These different groups of life forms are called species. Many species are interdependent, meaning that life forms depend on other life forms for their own survival. Over billions of years, a delicate symbiotic relationship between species has evolved. It is this natural balance which allows life to survive in the way it does. There are scientists who say that 50,000 entire species are going extinct every year! This is the beginning of a severe man-made disturbance to the natural balance of life on Earth, which, if it continues, will have a direct negative impact on all life, including man.
