This is a good time to point people to one of the best PBS TV series about "Our Planet Earth" (unrelated to BBC series of the same name) aired in 1986 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Earth_(1986_TV_series)

Everybody needs to watch this to understand how exquisitely balanced our planet is.
I love articles/videos like this. Highly fascinating and just goes to show how much we still have to learn about our planet.
On a related note; see the "Planet Earth 1986 TV series" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Earth_(1986_TV_series) for a amazing and well-rounded view of Our Planet Earth. This was done back when Science programs were Scientific with no annoying hosts, dumbing down of narratives, cutesy-poo graphics and other distractions. I highly recommend watching this with your kids to instill a sense of wonder and sparking fruitful discussions.
