Why are Native Animals so Important?
Wildlife is an essential part of our biodiversity in Pittwater – without them:
- pollination of plants could not occur – with the resulting lack of next generation of seed
- native seeds and spore, essential for the regeneration of our bushland would not distributed
- control of insects, a vital factor in our ecosystems, would not be achieved
- soils would be impoverished and become easily compacted
Wildlife and bushland has a symbiotic relationship to promote health and viability for both plants and animals. In fact, our bushland cannot remain viable and healthy into the future without the interaction of native wildlife!
Also the aesthetic component of our environments would be sadly lacking as our native wildlife provide an inspiring and beautiful context for where we live.
