What are the effects on living things
                                             if there is a population change in
                                             the food web of a habitat?

         It is estimated that 480 million
         animals died due to a bush fire in
         Australia since the end of August
         2019. At least 8000 koalas perished
         in the fire. About 30 percent of the
         koalas’ habitats are also destroyed.                                tiger

                                       will disrupt other living things. Food relationships
                                       among living things are also affected. This causes
                                       a major change to food chains and food webs.
