Decomposers and Scavengers: Nature's Recyclers: Nature's Recyclers

When living things die, it is important that they get broken down. Scavengers help break dead things into smaller pieces. Decomposers can then turn those pieces into nutrients for the soil. Decomposers and Scavengers: Nature's Recyclerslooks at how animals and other organisms make the world a better place by breaking down waste, as well as the threats they face and how people can protect them.
