Elephants are the ecosystem engineers and best ecosystem architects of Nature and play a very vital role in maintaining the habitats. They are preserved and nurtured properly in forests and other biospheres as they help to sustain the ecological balance of the environment. Elephants are big-sized species on land till now defeating their peers and other foes and can be considered as an important animal with large benefits.

Elephants are the best ecosystem architects of any country

Elephants are the ecosystem engineers and architects of any nation and considered the king of the jungle as they do not feed on other animals. Elephants are seen in groups and sometimes solo as they are mostly shy animals that are less violent and mostly feed on vegetal. There are also opportunities for elephant rides in some areas where they help travelers in spotting tigers and other wild animals in the jungle. Elephants do not feed on other animals, but when they become angry, they can kill the victim with their legs. 

Why are Elephants important

Elephants can be found living in the zoo, forests, jungles, and core areas of the national parks. They are considered as water sources in jungles as they help to dig wells and find water and food for other species and organisms. Elephants are considered ecosystem architects and engineers as they sustain the environment where they thrive by clearing out big trees and bark making space for other organisms to live in the habitat. Their dung can be considered as an important step towards the growth of seeds, etc. They also protect other animals from their prey and act as the biggest rescuer in difficult situations. They try to calm the situation down and acts as the biggest strength at times to victims of carnivorous animals. Their support is always solicited by small animals and accepted as a gesture. Elephants provide the most economical way of supporting other people and fulfill their needs when required. They are also seen performing at the city circus where they play with balls and the instructor and continue to be the most lovely and preferred animal. 

Elephants are the ecosystem architects and engineers and play a major role in preserving wildlife 

Elephants continue their daily business in the morning, and they roam freely in the forests feeding on tree leaves, grass, and other vegetal. They return to their destinations by evening with their group where they keep a distance apart from other animals and prefer to be hidden.  Without them, the entire ecosystem is empty and void. A lot of care is now being taken in forests of Bandipur, Mudumalai, Kanha, Jim Corbett National Park, Ranthambore, and Gir forests to preserve them and realize their importance and virtue and the good they do to others. In my opinion, they are the largest creatures inland after dinosaurs became extinct. Elephants are the best ecosystem architects of the environment so proper steps should be taken to nurture and feed them and prevent them from becoming endangered.
