In an ecosystem one finds a species around which life forms manage the web of life. Such an order is achieved not by any common consent but in the way each life-form exercises its own Oneness(1). Off the coast of South California sea otters are ‘keystone’ animals. By knocking out the keystone what delicate balance is achieved will be disrupted. Sea otters were extensively
hunted down in 18th and 19th centuries for their fur. In their near extinction sea urchins multiplied beyond limit. They in turn caused havoc by eating the giant kelps that served as a shelter for seals.
Explanation: (1)What does ‘oneness’ denotes for us as a species? Our apeman who walked for the first time on two feet because of the advantages he saw therein, made all other members in his group follow suit. The idea of the rich pickings they could have by freeing their hands had to be completed with the security in numbers. Selfishness of an individual has its contrariness, call it altruism if you will, in order to sustain his own progress.
Credo of this oneness? ‘All for one, one for all.’
