Can an ecosystem recover from damage?

The video explores the resilience of nature, questioning its ability to recover from the loss of one or more species. Evidence shows that individual species like bald eagles, elephant seals, and manatees can bounce back. The discussion extends to the recovery potential when multiple species are missing, emphasizing that if the habitat and basic resources remain, nature can recover more quickly than expected.

What is the main question posed about nature's resilience?

• Can nature recover from the loss of one or more species?

• Can nature survive without water?

• Can nature adapt to climate change?

• Can nature thrive in urban environments?

Which of the following species is mentioned as having bounced back?

• Polar bears

• Bald eagles

• Pandas

• Tigers

What is a key factor in nature's ability to recover?

• The presence of predators

• The absence of human interference

• The availability of habitat and resources

• The diversity of plant species

What is the significance of the habitat in nature's recovery?

• It provides a place for species to hide from predators.

• It prevents natural disasters from occurring.

• It allows species to migrate to new areas.

• It ensures that species have a place to live and access to resources.

How quickly can nature recover according to the video?

• Over several centuries

• In a few decades

• On a much shorter time frame than expected

• Only after human intervention
