How does a decrease/decline in a top predator impact biodiversity in an ecosystem?

I believe that would impact biodiversity in the way that, all those preys the predator feeds on, will start to overpopulate.

Like for example, I’ll use a wolf. Wolves eat many other animals, so it would be a top predator in an ecosystem. But when the population of wolves start to drop, their prey’s population will increase. This isn’t necessarily a positive thing because there has to be a balance in the food chain.

Wolves probably also do something for the environment, so a decrease would maybe change somethings there too.

I hope this answers your question :)

If one forgets about food safety it would be a disaster and can cause food poisoning. However if one would just follow the 4 simple steps one's family can be safe from food poisoning. The steps include clean, to separate, cook then chill. In this scenario, Felicia forgets the first step which is a. clean.
