Animals and humans are two living things that cannot be separated, animals and humans always coexist and complement each other. Animals help a lot of human life both in terms of providing food and others. Some animals are an important part of human life even though they are considered trivial, without these animals humans could not survive on earth. These animals do not provide food, but help in supporting life:
1. Fish
The first is fish. Who likes to eat fish here? It turns out that besides being used for meat for food, fish also helps reduce the bad effects of climate change, you know friends. Guess what, what is used to reduce these bad effects? Turns out the fish droppings do the job. According to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Exeter, it was stated that fish waste reduces acidity in the ocean so that the pH in the sea water is maintained and remains stable. Fish droppings that float on the water surface and decompose. Now, when this process occurs, carbon dioxide will be formed and also functions to maintain the pH level of the sea water.
Recently, the issue of overfishing is common, around 31% of the world's fish population is caught. If fishing is done excessively, it will be difficult for fish populations to increase. Fish as a source of food is reduced and it will also have an impact on climate change on earth.
2. Birds
Birds are one of the animals that we often encounter. In ancient times, birds helped humans to send letters. However, birds now help humans a lot in life on earth. Without birds, no one controls pests, no one decomposes the forest and certainly no one does nutrient recycling, pollination and seeding and air circulation in the soil. If no one does that, then what will be the fate of humans? Therefore, as humans we must preserve birds.
3. Bee
Bees usually play a role in producing sweet honey and have many benefits for the human body. However, it turns out that the role of bees is not only that, bees play a big role in life on earth. The role of bees is to pollinate. Without the presence of bees, it will not be able to pollinate so that the plants in this world cannot grow and reproduce. Without bees, plants such as flowers, trees and fruit would not exist in this world. Therefore, bees play an important role in human life.
4. Worms
Worms are known as a dirty and disgusting plant. Worms are animals that humans don't like. But who knows that worms actually play a big role in reducing trash in the soil. This is known as the compost system, which is by dumping garbage on the ground. This can reduce the waste generated in the household. The worms themselves also help in fertilizing the soil, tearing the soil so that plants can grow well.
5. PrimatesÂ
Primates are cute animals that have an important role on earth. These animals play a role in protecting tropical forests and subtropics. The dirt that falls to the ground makes the soil fertile. Forests can be maintained and continue to thrive are also influenced by the movements of primates that fall to the ground because these movements make tree seeds fall and grow fertile.
Forests are one of the important players in life on earth. Forests are oxygen producers, without a forest ecosystem, humans will not have a permanent source of oxygen. Tropical rainforests also influence global rainfall patterns. If the number of trees on this earth decreases, less moisture rises into the atmosphere, this causes less rain to fall on the earth so that water sources also decrease.
6. Frog
Frogs are one of the animals that are considered ridiculous because they look less attractive, their voices are quite disturbing and their bodies have myopia, which makes us quite careful. However, frogs can also be processed food tablets. Frogs also act as bio-indicators because their skin is able to absorb substances that are in their environment. Changes in frog skin can be used as an indicator of pollution and contamination that occurs in the area's environment.
7. Ants
Ants are animals that we often encounter anywhere, at home, on the road and anywhere. Ants can be found in almost all existing ecosystems. Although ants are often killed and considered a nuisance, these little creatures are very helpful in creating healthy soil for plants to thrive. This occurs when the ants dig into the ground and build tunnels and allow air to enter the ground. This activity is very helpful in decomposition by recycling the nutrients in the soil.
8. Bats
Bats are animals that are often identified as creepy animals and are blood-sucking animals. But actually bats are animals that bring a lot of good to life on earth. The reason is because bats can kill mosquitoes, mosquitoes carry many dangerous diseases for humans such as malaria and dengue fever. Bats can kill mosquitoes by eating about 1000 mosquitoes in one hour.
These animals are considered by us to be trivial, but they play a very important role in life on earth. According to the book English For FISIP Unit 18, I strongly agree if you say that animals make us not lonely, many people raise animals and make animals as friends that accompany daily life, animals also understand human feelings, animals can comfort humans when they are sad . Pets also reduce stress, because usually animals are cute and can be played with so they get entertainment.
