I'm learning about ecosystems in school. What is an ecosystem?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living things that interact with each other in a specific environment, like a forest or a desert.<|im_end|>

What happens when an ecosystem is out of balance?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
When an ecosystem is out of balance, it can cause problems for the plants and animals living there. For example, if there are too many predators, they might eat all the prey, and then the predators won't have enough food.<|im_end|>

How can we help keep ecosystems balanced?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
We can help by not polluting, protecting natural habitats, and not overhunting or overfishing. Every small action can make a big difference in keeping ecosystems healthy.<|im_end|>
