Document ETH-345: Current Status of Ethian Ecosystem

Living on a planet that has changed very little over the last few billion years, the ecosystem of Eth appears to be very fragile compared that of Old Earth. Coupled with the low biodiversity, homogeneous makeup throughout Eth and presence of several keystone species (laths, treeths, nomths), any minor change in their environment could lead to a mass extinction planetwide. Extreme care should be taken when interacting with the exosystem. However, it is extremely unlikely that any Old Earth organism besides humans could pose a threat, as the environment is so different any foreign life would be quickly outcompeted by the native life. .
