It is all related because in order for a speices to exist or live it must have an relative abundance of land or food in their territories. There also must be a diveristy in mates so that there is no inbreeding. DIversity can also come from the different colors of the species which can show the environment they live(d) in which can help sometimes ward off other predators. I hope this helps.
It is important for future generations to study current environmental issues because it can help better the future and help the current issues from getting any worst.
