About this Quote

This quote by Steve Irwin highlights the issue of land use for farming. If large locations of land are utilized to grow crops such as rice, then there is no room for other animals to live there. This is a major issue, as it implies that the biodiversity of the area is minimized, and the ecosystem is disrupted. This can have an unfavorable effect on the environment, as the loss of species can lead to a decline in the number of predators, which can lead to an increase in the number of insects. Additionally, the loss of species can likewise result in a decline in the variety of pollinators, which can have a negative impact on the development of crops. Ultimately, this quote acts as a tip of the value of preserving biodiversity and the need to find methods to balance the needs of humans and the environment.
