Why wildlife is so essential to spreading plants' seeds
• Plants reproduce using seed dispersal, often relying on wildlife to carry their seeds so that their offspring don't grow in their shadow. • Today the Earth is losing species at a rapid rate, potentially representing the sixth mass extinction in its history, which could impact seed dispersal. • 60% fewer seeds are being dispersed far enough worldwide to keep pace with climate change by shifting locations.
