In addition, thousands of animal species also contribute

to tree reproduction and the growth of forests by distribut-
ing tree seeds. For instance, Pinus albicaulis, a white-
barked species of pine tree) reproduces with the help of a
bird named Nucifraga columbiana. The seeds of this pine
tree lie within a tightly closed cone; the bird propagates
new P. albicaulis trees by opening the cone, extracting the
seeds and burying them. 151 In his book Made for Each Other:

A Symbiosis of Birds and Pines, Professor of Forestry Ronald
Lanner of Utah State University describes the vital role
played by birds in the germination of pines. 152

Cleaning Services: What state would your home quick-
ly turn into, if your rubbish were not collected? The same
applies to the Earth. If leaves falling from trees, dead ani-
mals and plants, rubbish and industrial wastes accumulated,
the Earth would become uninhabitable. This is forestalled,

however, by the work of ants, termites, mites, fungi, insects,
invertebrates and to a large extent, bacteria. Millions of
species break down and convert dead organisms and or-
ganic wastes into minerals and components that provide
foodstuffs for still other organisms. Just like assembly work-
ers in a factory, various bacteria species work in co-opera-
tion.

For example, saprophytic bacteria first convert the nitro-
