Brilliant, thank you for publishing! Just to clarify, the curiosity behind the question was not "should we care" if species disappear if they don't contribute to the ecosystem balance, no. The question was really "these living creatures are here, would it make a difference if they weren't, and if yes, what would the consequences be?" It is NOT about whether life matters, because life does matter 😃
There used to be tons of snails here (SF Bay Area Peninsula, California) but in the last decade they have all disappeared. I have been trying to find out why, but no one seems to have a clue.
I am in the Bay Area as well, and I haven’t seen a snail in years. They used to be so abundant, especially when it rained. You’d have to watch your step otherwise you were sure to accidentally step on one. 😓
I would switch with you anytime! I have terrible snail and slug problem in my garden in central Europe. Anything I plant is being eaten overnight. Also it's impossible to not step on them all the time. Slime everywhere 😭
My daughter like to pick up snail shells in the bush. Many small shells with no flesh. I wonder where the flesh is. Were they eaten by others? Or they lost their shells and go away.😮
If humans disappeared, everything else would flourish because we're the apex predators. But what about mosquitoes? What role do they play in the ecosystem?
As everything developed to fill a certain niche, or to do a certain thing, I'd assume our task here is to contribute our intelligence and abilities to the good of all life. But first we as a whole society have to grow out of our puberty without having anyone to teach us what it means to be an adult. Also while growing up it is quite common to feel useless sand threatened by all the unanswered questions. So your stance is definitely relatable. I believe we'll find our way to contribute. And in order to join back onto your point: either we will on ourselves, or we'll be forced by catastrophe. And then our contribution might be to place the memory of a failed experiment, right. Let's do good deeds.

Snails are very, very cute and grateful!

Thanks a lot

It can be used as medicine, cosmetic and so on things.
Fireflies eat snails and slugs, so they'd tell you they're pretty important.
You folks should have asked “would we miss mosquitoes if they suddenly disappeared “.
we would be grateful
Do we need 'em?

The problem is loss of animals. Snails, mosquitoes. Then man.
Interesting...
6:04 Also, we can eat them.
Ducks and chickens love 🐌

Except humans everything is needed
