Why is it important to protect networks of ecosystems and habitats? Provide an example of a species in Alberta that would benefit from such protection and state why

To maintain stability.

Explanation:

It is important to protect networks of ecosystems and habitats in order to get healthy and stable environment because the environment depends on ecosystems and habitats. If there is no ecosystem or habitat is destroyed then the whole ecosystem will greatly damaged that leads to the extinction of many animals that maintain stability in the environment. Swift fox (Vulpes velox)  and Bison (Bison bison athabascae) are the two species that can be protected by protecting habitat and ecosystem.

answer: oof wait

explanation:

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.
