Overview

Around the world, animals work with other living things to create unique and balanced ecosystems. Bees help plants make seeds. Birds scatter seeds so plants can grow. Gophers loosen the soil, letting water and nutrients easily reach roots. Cleaner fish keep other fish healthy by eating parasites. But today, some of these systems are at risk of disappearing. Team Earth investigates the amazing ways that animals help their environments and humans and shows what people can do to protect them. Some animals burrow into the ground, letting air and water reach plants' roots. Others build nests in which to raise young. When they're grown, other animals can reuse the nest. Ecosystem Architects: Animals Building Incredible Structures looks at how animal builders make the world a better place, as well as the threats they face and how people can protect them. Easy-to-read text, vivid images and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources and an index.
