Contrary to popular belief, pests are not always harmful. In fact, they play crucial roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. For example, pests can:
- Provide food for predators and scavengers
- Pollinate plants
- Disperse seeds
- Decompose organic matter
The book "The Place of Pests in a Healthy World" provides detailed case studies that highlight the positive contributions of pests to the environment. Readers will gain a newfound appreciation for the complex and interconnected web of life.
