“An ecosystem in Idaho, for example, would be an area where you have a certain type of tree, a certain type of animal life, a certain type of insect and so on that has evolved in that particular area and depends on that type of vegetation, that type of a full range of other animals like--I do not want to bring up wolves now, but let's say a moose is going to eat a certain type of vegetation. In my area an ecosystem on the Eastern Shore would be a little bit different because we have deer, we have geese, we have fox and so on. So ecosystem is different from one place to another, but an ecosystem is an area where you have animals, plants and insects that will depend on each other to survive.”
