Can one species protect a whole ecosystem? In a way, yes!
Some species, like the northern spotted owl, are known as “umbrella” species 
meaning the habitat that supports them also supports hundreds of other plants and animals. When we look after these owls and other umbrella species, we look after whole ecosystems!
