Ecological balance is important for the health and stability of an ecosystem. In order for living organisms to coexist in a relatively stable state with the environment, systems of cycling and balance must keep the ecosystem sustainable. Sustainability as the avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance. Environmental balance is maintained in the ways: Through continuous operation of various natural cycles such as the water cycle, carbon cycle, oxygen cycle and nitrogen cycle. It is also maintained due to the existence of various food chains in the ecosystem. Ecosystem controls essential ecological processes and promotes lives. Involved in the recycling of nutrients between biotic and abiotic components. It helps in maintaining the usual flow of energy in an ecosystem including- Carbon Cycle, Energy Cycle, Nitrogen Cycle, Oxygen Cycle, and Water Cycle. Rapid population growth can disrupt the ecological balance, also known as homeostasis. During homeostasis in an ecosystem, all of the different species are in balance. Their numbers may fluctuate slightly, but nominally stay the same over the course of time. A balanced ecosystem signifies a habitat which is sustainable. It consists of animals, plants, microorganisms and more which depend on each other and their surroundings. These ecosystems exhibit resourceful energy and material cycling. It also displays interconnectedness amid primary producers and predators. Instead of using non-renewable natural resources, use of renewable natural resources should be preferred. Waste water generated by industries should be recycled. We should use natural resources cautiously so that economic growth and ecological conservation go hand in hand. To maintain a balance between the environment and human development, it is necessary to strive for sustainable development to meet the needs of the present generation and conserve them for the future generation.
