Over millions of years, countless animals, plants, fungi and other forms of life evolved together to form complexecosystems in each habitat type. Today, each resulting ecosystem of our world comprises an infinitely complex
community of organisms that are often interconnected or interdependent in various ways.
In this book, we will explore many of the ecosystems and species that make our world so biologically rich. It is
impossible to explore and fully explain every habitat niche in 160 pages. However, the intention of this work is
to open young readers’ minds to some of the main ecosystems which are found across our world. As we journey
through our world’s different ecosystems and habitats, many of the occupant animals, plants and fungi will be
briefly documented, each accompanied by a generalised conservation indicator.
