The problem comes from the fact that when man movesinto these new areas he usually takes over and in the process damages or destroys ecosystemsthat were in place. This loss of ecosystems equates to the loss of animal species and alsoplant species. This is happening in our world at an alarming rate. One issue that should besending up a big red flag is that no one knows how the loss of these plants and animals isgoing to affect our planet. Luckily there are groups established such as the World HeritageGroup which work to preserve these areas and unique ecosystems along with their plant andanimal life. One such place isthe Belize Barrier Reef platform lies on the Atlantic-Caribbeancoast of Belize, and extends 260 kilometers from the border with Mexico to the north, to nearthe Guatemala border to the south.
