We need more producers in the ecosystem because if we didn’t the whole ecosystem would fall apart. For example, if for some reason the producer started to die, such as a Douglas Fin ,then the animal that fed off of that producer would then start to die, such as Mule Deer, because of starvation. After this catastrophe, a domino affect would occur. From one organism to another, there would be starvation and death. For example, if the Mule deer died then the raven could start to starve. If this happened, it would cause the whole ecosystem to fail. That would mean that the whole existence of the national park would be nevermore. Even though some people may believe that consumers are more important, the original foundation of any ecosystem is the producers.
