If you've ever lost your balance then you've realized once
it was gone just how important it really is. That's true of
the world around us too.
Modern farming feeds more and more people.
Technologies move water to where we need it most. Cities grow
and spread. But in accomplishing all this, we also upset the
balance of nature. Forests come down. Fertile
soil washes away. Microbes move
to more places more quickly. And record numbers of plant and
animal species disappear—all
showing that human actions can turn things topsy-turvy.
Explore this battle for balance. Discover
the challenges we face and the choices we must make. Learn
what can be gained, and what can be lost. See how you can
make a difference.
