Why is saving this species important to it's ecosystem?
Zebras are a type of mammal called an equid, which is related to a horse. Zebras are recognized for their crazy striped coats. They are very important to their ecosystems, playing the role of a consumer, and it would hurt the food chain.
(A consumer means to destroy or expend by use; use up.)
Why The Zebras are Important.
The zebras are important because they are getting hunted and habitat loss. People feel bad because we have killed about 2,000 Grévy's Zebras. This could hurt the food chain. People should let every animal have a chance, and we think the zebras can.
