One part of a fragile ecosystem !!! |

I didn't know there were wild black bears in Florida. |
Dana |
Oh, yes, but there are far fewer than there used to be and we are
doing all we can to maintain their numbers. |
Hector |
It must be quite difficult to do that ? |
Dana |
It is quite complicated because they are only
one part of a fragile ecosystem in which all the parts
are interdependent. |
Hector |
So you can't just focus on the bears themselves. |
Dana |
No, that's right. We've got to manage the whole ecosystem and, for
example, ensure that the variety of plants which the bears feed on
is maintained. |
