An important point to remember:  ecosystems are dynamic, always adjusting, always striving for a type of homeostasis (balance).  When we humans interfere with the functioning of them, we should do so with the least damage possible under the particular circumstances.  Why?  Because:  1) they all, directly or indirectly, contribute to our health, prosperity, & well-being; and 2) human existence is not possible without the functioning of natural cycles, and those cycles are found in ecosystems.  Even if you're in artificial surroundings all day and night, you still need clean air, clean water, decent food, shelter, protection from floods, disease, etc.  That all is provided by properly functioning ecosystems.  Everything is connected to everything else.  [Barry Commoner's first law of ecology.  https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/barry-commoner-scientist-activist-radical-ecologist ]
