We humans, along with all living organisms, form a complex web of the ecological system in which we are only a small part and very much dependent on this system for our existence. For example, plants, animals and microorganisms re-create the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil that produces our food, without which we cannot survive. Forests play a vital role in the ecological system as these are also the primary producers on which all other living beings depend.
