I created a simulation that could be useful as a visual learning for younger students.
This ecosystem begins in a balanced state where all species coexist with similar populations. In real ecosystems, predators, resources, and competition help maintain this balance.
When humans interfere—such as by feeding wildlife—one species may gain an artificial advantage. Its population can grow rapidly, outcompeting others for space and resources and eventually disrupting the ecosystem.
This simulation demonstrates why feeding wild animals can destabilize ecosystems and why wildlife experts encourage observing animals without interfering in their natural environment.
